Paule Baillargeon is 37 years old, 11 years old, 65 years old. . . In this film composed of fragments, she tells her story: the story of a woman, a filmmaker, a mother, a feminist, an artist. Of an actress, too, who delivers a powerful narrative that is both soothing and unsettling. These potent images, her images—filmed, painted, photographed, drawn, animated—merge into the portrait of a life that has been wild, rebellious and gentle. The tableaux are not so much autobiography as an authentic tale, as unpredictable and unique as any life.

School subjects
Lead a discussion on the following questions: What parts of the portrait seem brightest and darkest? How are different generations of women depicted? What role does the body play? What about the narration? In what way does the director redirect her anger and fears? Finally, invite students to create autobiographical vignettes in the form of five self-portraits.
