Little Girl Blue

Following the death of her mother, Carole Achache, a French author and photographer, director Mona Achache finds an extensive archive of letters, recordings, and photographs.

To understand her mother's true identity and retrace her life's journey, Mona uses cinema to symbolically bring her back to life.
