This film is a collections of stories of her childhood in Brussels and adolescence in occupied Paris, Los Angeles in the ’60s, and life in her 14e arrondissement Paris neighborhood.

Her husband/filmmaker Jacques Demy, who passed away in 1990, is an enduring presence. Varda is a wife and mother, a feminist, urban artist and nature-lover but most of all, she is a woman in love with the cinema. Scheduled to release July 1, 2009.
