Pauline Julien: Femme pays (NaN)

A woman loses her voice, like a country that loses her at the same time. Pauline Julien, flamboyant singer, true poetic and political icon, has left many imprints on us. We follow her as much in her triumphs on stage, in her stance for the emancipation of the country of Quebec, as in moments of absolute intimacy with her children, but above all, at the heart of her incandescent love story with Gérald Godin. The film catches her at the moment she learns the diagnosis of degenerative aphasia that will rob her of her speech. We retrace the thread of a life made of light, work, love and heartbreak. Pauline dances, Pauline loves, Pauline yells, Pauline fucks, Pauline burns. Pauline lives. Pauline dies. What remains of her?
