On the eve of her 80th birthday, Varda makes a cinematic memoir of her personal and artistic life. In a witty and original way, she weaves archive footage, reconstructions and film excerpts to chart her life, including childhood, the French New Wave period, and her marriage to Jacques Demy.
Inventive, emotional and reflective, this autobiographical essay celebrates Varda’s artistic creativity and curiosity about life. 'I'm playing the role of a little old lady," Agnès Varda says in the opening sequence of the film, "pleasantly plump and talkative, telling her life story. And yet, it's others I'm interested in; others I like to film."
