A portrait of a woman on the brink of a nervous breakdown: Barberie Bichette, also known as Barbie, at 55 years old, feels through the gaze of others that she has reached the end of an era and reflects on her life in three acts. Agnès Jaoui shines in Sophie Fillières' universe, navigating emotional roller coasters tailor-made for the actress. Knowing she wouldn't see the final cut of her film, the late director delivers a heartfelt tribute to women over fifty, offering an ode to life, hope, and nature. This testamentary film weaves together comedy, tragedy, and fairy tale elements.
