The extraordinary life of the French music hall star Bambi has been one of perpetual reinvention, from her childhood in Algeria as a boy named Jean-Pierre to her Parisian cabaret career and her 25 years as a public school French teacher. Hers is an inspirational life of determination, illustrated by archive footage gathered from a super-8 diary Bambi kept for some 30 years, personal photographs and current footage. A touching biographical portrait from the director of Les Invisibles and Going South (Plein Sud).
