Synopsis:
Claude Lelouch's tale of the interweaving personal and historical events that create and destroy families traces the former lives that lead to his protagonists. Sarah (Marthe Keller), a wild '60s teenager obsessed with singer Gilbert Bécaud (playing himself), comes from a fractured family line buffeted by war, violence, and the Holocaust. Simon (André Dussolier), a petty criminal turned filmmaker who also feels a close connection to Bécaud, closes the loop on Sarah's history.
