Direction: Philippe Baylaucq

Production: René Chénier

Script: Philippe Baylaucq

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in co-operation with the National Arts Centre and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Foundation.

Director Philippe Baylaucq captures Clémence Desrochers in total candidness, as she recounts her childhood, and career as a writer, broadcaster, singer, actress and monologuist. Inspired by life's most ludicrous aspects, her work has trampled barriers of decorum and tackled everything from menopause to suicide, all in the service of laughter and connection.
