Étoile montante

DirectorFrançois Zabaleta

2015
95 min

The story of a close friendship between Louise Rivière, a seventeen-year-old girl in love with the absolute, and one of her high school friends, Victor, who is two-year-old younger. For five years, Victor and Louise never left each other. For five years, night and day, he followed her until that morning in October 1982 when, without giving an explanation, Louise threw herself out of a window of a building in the Bronx, New York. Louise had a vocation, a utopia that will get the better of her: to become a jazz singer, like the one she revere above all else: Billie Holiday.
