Percy Adlon’s – Celeste

From Percy Adlon, director of Bagdad Café..

In 1914, with men gone to war, Marcel Proust hired Céleste Albaret as his attendant. More than eight years later, she was at his side when he died. During this entire time, she only entered his room when he rang for her, sleeping from 9 AM to 3 PM to wait during the night while he wrote. Hers is a life of love and sweet devotion as he races time to finish his work before death.
