For Anna, finding her voice was the only possible way to be in the world. He never imagined the effects of his subtle and sharp poetry on so many different people. This is the story of the whirlwind of passions that unleashed in each one. From the envy of the most powerful and vengeful man of his time to the tormented admiration of the woman in charge of watching her and betraying her. From the city of St. Petersburg before the Revolution, as if in a theater of wonder, we become witnesses of his complex relationship with the creators of his time and, above all, with the most renowned poet of his generation, Nicolai Gumilyov, his first husband, murdered in 1921, in one of the first mass trials of innocents planned by Lenin and that would become recurrent in the years of Stalinist terror. A decade earlier,she herself tells us about her intense and brief love story, in Paris, with Amedeo Modigliani.
