After the 2016 suicide of writer and photographer Carole Achache, her daughter Mona Achache, a film director, found thousands of photos, letters, and audio recordings that her mother left behind. To better understand her mother's death and who she was, Mona Achache asked actress Marion Cotillard to portray her mother in a docudrama investigating Carole's childhood, her relationship with her mother, the writer Monique Lange, and the abuses that Carole suffered at the hands of men such as writer Jean Genet.
