Part 7: Fast forward nearly 40 years during which time Camille has been interred in an asylum in Montdevergues. In 1929 she receives a very rare visit from Jesse Lipscomb, her friend from the atellier. This encounter gives Camille a chance to reflect on what she has become now, and to thank Jesse for remembering her.
