LOGLINE
The story of a well-known poet Baudelaire, who couldn’t get any credit as an artist because his poems were different from the ones of the older generation, eventually changing the world with his own art.

SYNOPSIS
In his high school, although Baudelaire’s poem is approved for the best in the poetry contest, his award gets cancelled for being different from conventional poetry. This memory becomes a lifelong trauma to Baudelaire, resulting in him pursuing aestheticism, loving freely, and sometimes self-tormenting. Baudelaire became a widely acclaimed poet by publishing ‘Flower of Evil’, in which he expressed his world of art to extremes. However, the publication of ‘Flower of Evil’ gets banned because of his poems being “devilish” and disturbing social order. In response, Baudelaire decides to run for the member of the French Academy (L'Academie française) to create the world with ‘freedom of artistic expression’. Pinar, who had been humiliated by Baudelaire in their high school days, interferes with Baudelaire trying to get into the French Academy. Baudelaire eventually becomes disqualified for being the member, which results in people being outraged and fanatically advocating Baudelaire. In the end, Baudelaire fails, but is treated like a winner.
