Description

In the bohemian atmosphere of Paris in 1907, the art world is alive with innovation and rivalry. Amidst the vibrant gatherings of avant-garde artists, a chilling series of murders disrupts the creative flow. Gertrude Stein, a key figure in this cultural scene, finds herself at the center of the investigation as she navigates the complexities of friendship, ambition, and artistic madness.

As she and her circle of eccentric artists grapple with the mounting fear of a killer in their midst, they are compelled to confront the darker aspects of their world, including jealousy and obsession. The interplay between art and life becomes increasingly blurred, highlighting the precarious balance between genius and madness.

Bertozzi paints a vivid portrait of a chaotic era, where every brushstroke could mean the difference between fame and oblivion. The tension builds as Stein and her associates race against time to unveil the identity of the murderer, all while struggling with their own creative demons. The Salon becomes a backdrop for intrigue, introspection, and the relentless pursuit of artistic identity.
