Charles Baudelaire, the influential 19th-Century French poet, “Enfant Terrible,” and author of the infamous “Les Fleurs du Mal (Flowers of Evil),” is in Purgatory. Satan and Saint Peter battle for his soul, reviewing his vices and virtues through a haunting fever dream of flashbacks and memories featuring the ghosts from his life. Will love, beauty, and poetry save his soul, or will Baudelaire be condemned to eternal damnation?
