Provocative, misunderstood, unloved, cynical poet... Serge Gainsbourg as seen by the women in his life: Juliette Gréco, Vanessa Paradis, Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, Régine, France Gall, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Bambou... An intimate portrait of the man who could not live without them.

French singer/songwriter Renaud comment and give his explanations about various video footage that have been made about him over the years.

Who better than Madonna, Lady Diana, and Bono to embody the contradictions of the 1980s? The intertwined destinies of the princess of the dance floor, the queen of hearts, and the humanitarian rock star, where generous enthusiasm vies with narcissism. A perfect reflection of the ambiguities of an era.

Jane Birkin has forged a unique bond with France and the French. Between the small Englishwoman, muse of Gainsbourg, then of Doillon or Chéreau, and her adopted country, love at first sight was immediate and lasted for more than fifty years. This documentary goes back, through the prism of this unique bond, to the life and career of a peculiar artist in the French musical and cinematographic landscape. The intimate portrait of a freedom-loving woman.
