Romy Schneider. An icon of French cinema, a phenomenally photogenic actress. What was she really like? Was she happy? Or, on the contrary, unhappy - especially after the loss of her son, who died at the age of fourteen? Journalist and writer Sarah Briand traced Romy's life path - from childhood in Berchtesgaden, Germany, to the last days in a Paris apartment. She created a true portrait of the movie star, based on the testimony of people who knew Romy closely - her friends, directors, actors and screenwriters who worked with her. Among them are Daniel Biasini, Romy's husband and father of her daughter Sarah, and Alain Delon, who for the first time spoke in such detail about the difficult relationship with the woman he passionately loved.
