A pioneering post-war female film director, an instigator of the New Wave who was honored by Hollywood in her own lifetime, Agnès Varda has become a source of inspiration for a whole new generation of young filmmakers. She imposed herself as a free, iconoclastic woman with her finger on the pulse of her times. A life that one can't help admiring. While she often portrayed and featured herself in her own films, for the first time ever, this documentary provides a counter-shot through interviews and previously unseen archives materials.
