During the last nine years of writer Marcel Proust's (Jurgen Arndt) life, his only companion is housekeeper Celeste Albaret (Eva Mattes). As Proust's health declines, he retreats into his bedroom, waking up at four every afternoon to work on his epic novel, "Remembrance of Things Past." Celeste struggles to keep noises and distractions from interfering with Proust's concentration, only speaking with him when the author wants to recall his past or learn from her about the outside world.

Michael Bronski Gay Community News (Boston) What Celeste manages to do so well is show us how all the details of Celeste’s life shape and inform who she is and how she views herself.
