Away from view, Yves Saint Laurent draws his latest sketches surrounded by those who have always supported, seamstresses, assistants, models. He is about to leave a world from which he is now detached. Behind the scenes Pierre Bergé orchestrates a succession of celebrations dedicated to turning the icon into a myth. The film of Olivier Meyrou captures these last moments and braids the unpublished portrait of a finishing world.
