In 1895, Oscar Wilde was at the top of glory and popularity. A brilliant poet, playwright and witty interlocutor, everything that he did caused either delight or a scandal. He became the public and his romance with young Lord Alfred Douglas. Alfred"s father, the powerful Marquis of Kuinsberry, suspected that this connection was more than friendship, began the public persecution of the writer. In the end, Wilde was sentenced to imprisonment. The society that extolled him turned away and renounced.
while in prison, Oscar Wilde wrote de Profundis - a long and bitter letter addressed to Douglas with accusations, a mournful elegy about his own lost greatness and a passionate prayer for reconciliation. This is at the same time an honest and merciless story about destructive and romantic love and a deep thought about human suffering, injustice and pain
