Throughout the 298 pages of the book, the one who shared the life of the man with the head of cabbage for thirteen years looks back on the different stages of his existence. And everything has not always been simple alongside Serge Gainsbourg. So Bambou remembers that her family tried to extract money from her when she lived with the star. After the death of her partner, she received no inheritance. In one of the chapters of her autobiography, she returns to an intimate and very painful episode. A sad story that takes place in the early 80s, after the filming ofEcuador, a film directed by Serge Gainsbourg and which takes place at Gazbon. “When we return from Libreville, the filming of Ecuador has been completed for some time, things are moving in my stomach. It's weird, sometimes painful. That worries me, I'm afraid I caught amoebas in Gabon. I'm going to the hospital. I have a blood test. They tell me, 'No, you don't have an amoeba. But you are pregnant. And for some time.' They're giving me an ultrasound. A six-month-old fetus appears on the screen. I fall backwards. (…) I am terrified. And even more terrified by what I will soon learn. The fetus seems completely normal, although much too small for its age. This means he may die in my womb.”
Bambou loses her baby six months pregnant
Bambou, with whom Charles Gainsbourg would later have a son, Lulu, born in 1986 and desired with love, then experienced a terrible event, which she describes with precision in her work. “I am then given treatment to induce anticipated contractions and extract the fetus from the uterus. Without any effect. Otherwise the fetal heart has stopped beating. There is no other option left than to have a cesarean section to remove it from my body. (…). You could say the sky is falling on my head. A completely black sky. Dark and fierce like guilt.“A painful story, told in simple and impactful words.
