A woman loses her voice, mirroring a country losing its own at the same time. Pauline Julien, a flamboyant singer and a true poetic and political icon, left a lasting mark on us. We follow her through her triumphs on stage, her stands for the emancipation of Quebec, and 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 just as she learns of the degenerative aphasia diagnosis that will take away her speech. We trace the thread of a life made of light, work, love and heartbreak. Pauline dances, Pauline loves, Pauline shouts, Pauline burns. Pauline lives. Pauline dies. What remains of her?
