Synopsis
At 9, Rue Git le Coeur in Paris, American Beat poets Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, and Gregory Corso found refuge from the obscenity trials surrounding Ginsberg's poem Howl. Between 1957 and 1963, the modest hotel became a hub for creativity and artistic freedom. The film features interviews and archival footage that document the interactions among these writers and other notable figures, including William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, as they shaped a significant chapter in literary history.
