Based on a true story, this movie shows Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette living life to the fullest at the turn of the 20th century.
Colette is a small town girl with big charms. She makes her way to Paris, and is immediately adopted by high society. For several reasons, she becomes the talk of the town. But not all news is good news.
This movie shows more than it tells: We see Colette’s surroundings and reactions, but we don’t hear her inner struggle.
