| Summary: | A dramatic retelling of the life of Edith Piaf, considered one of the great performers of France. Raised in a brothel, taken to work in a circus by her father, and eventually abandoned by her parents, she spent her teen years on the streets. Eventually "rescued" by a crime figure who gives her career a start, she makes her way to international success, despite recurring frailty, illness, wild moods, drug and alcohol problems. Born into poverty, she survived using the only gift she had - her voice. Edith Piaf's tragic life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love, with no regrets. Contains never-before-seen footage and a featurette. |
