In the evening of her life, Yannick Bellon reflects on her past. She evokes her career as a film director, which began in the 1940s and the themes, sometimes controversial (rape, bisexuality, drugs, ecology) she chose to deal with. She also tells about her friendships, her loves, her leftist political commitment, which earned her many troubles with the censors.
