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.
Claire (Bulle Ogier) returns to France following the death of her actress friend Agathe (Loleh Bellon). She attends an auction of her friend's possessions, provoking memories of the past. As her camera glides across the auction house bric-a-brac, Yanick Bellon mixes past, present and future to create a delicate piece of cinematic poetry. Set to the music of Georges Delerue.
