Piaf intime

11th October 1963. Everything stops. France is in mourning. The funeral of Edith Piaf causes a riot. 40,000 people pay their respects to their idol. Using exceptional documents, photos, recordings and previously unseen footage, this film presents Edith Piaf in a totally new light, painting a sensitive and personal portrait of a woman whose legendary status continues to grow. Leaving the tabloid press clichés far behind, it's another, much more complex Edith Piaf we see here. Edith Piaf died 50 years ago, but she moves us still. Her songs are timeless and universal.
