In the heart of a dystopian America, where freedom is a relic of the past and the government rules with an iron fist, a revolution begins in the vibrant streets of New Orleans. The Ballad of Valérie Moreau tells the gripping story of Valérie Moreau, a fierce and unapologetic trans woman who dares to rise against the oppressive regime of President Robert Tall.
​
As the leader of a grassroots resistance, Valérie inspires a city to fight back, using her wit, determination, and unyielding courage. But the cost of rebellion is steep.
When her activism leads to her arrest and confinement in a solitary prison cell, Valérie faces her darkest hours. Cut off from her community and the love of her life, Lex Dubois, she must rely on inner strength and meditative practices drawn from Eastern philosophy to keep her sanity intact.
​
Meanwhile, Lex, a nonbinary artist and documentary filmmaker, steps into Valérie's shoes, rallying the resistance and keeping the movement alive. The struggle to secure Valérie’s freedom becomes a personal and political battle, as Lex navigates the fine line between hope and despair, love and loss.
​
With a narrative as dynamic as its New Orleans setting, The Ballad of Valérie Moreau weaves themes of identity, resilience, and the power of community into a compelling tale of resistance. This is a story not only about the fight against tyranny but also about the enduring strength of love and the human spirit.
