FALLING BEAUTY
Art Drama/Mystery Triller, Tv Series
The intrigues of Versailles…
The dark ambitions of The Borgias…
The plotting powers of The Tudors…
The mysteries of Ripper Street…
All are nothing compared to what is happening in Montmartre at the end of the Nineteenth Century. Capital of art and vice, before—and far greater than—Hollywood, Montmartre is a mirage of dreams and damnation.
The heroes of these days bear names we know: Degas, Renoir, Manet, Van Gogh, Tolouse-Lautrec, and Valadon. Their pursuits? Art. Anarchy. Love. All fueled by hallucinogenic Absinthe.
In search of inspiration for their masterpieces, these artists encounter self-destruction, and seek guidance from the eternal muse. In the popular imagination of the time, they are admired and hailed like gods, and wild, wanna-be bohemians of all ages emulate their lives and excesses.
This is the story of an extraordinary, unparalleled era that has never before been visualized in an event miniseries.
At the center of the first season is ARTEMISIA VON RACH, witness to these times and unsuspecting catalyst of intrigue. Living alongside these immortal geniuses Artemisia shares art, ideals, turmoil, and passions with them. In a period when art is unattainable to women, she revels in her pure talent with force, courage, and determination.
While painting the perfect masterpieces and grasping the deepest essence of her art, she dangerously immerses herself in vice, sin, and debauchery. Sliding inexorably into the sublime hell of the circle of famous artists, who call themselves The Absinthe Drinkers, she inevitably finds herself in the exalted ecstasy of the condemned.
Her existence is enveloped by profound mystery.
She is a victim and unwitting pawn of an unimaginable plot, capable of changing the fate of history.
Unspeakable secrets, buried with her for eleven long years, are about to be revealed.
Nothing will be as it was before…
