Claire Simon let her friend Mimi Chiora tell the stories that make up her life in front of the camera, according to the places she visited, Nice, and its surroundings. The result is a true tale, told by her own heroine in 18 paintings. "Mimi is not a star, she is someone. I wanted to make a film of her life. I wanted to be as attached as possible to this singularity so I could meet the romance of a real life story. Which I was going to discover by filming her. There, in her town in Nice, or in the mountains, in the familiar or unfamiliar places where I filmed her, I waited for her story that I didn't know to come back to her, and for her to tell me the scenes that make up her personal novel." Claire Simon
