The four main characters see their private lives mixed with the life of the agency. They will also have to face the competing company StarMédia.

She was a damn good woman, very honest, hardworking like no other. Attentive to the actors who loved her enormously. I am happy to have worked in her company and also very touched that she agreed to be the first witness to our book written in collaboration with Nedjma Van Egmond: A History of French Cinema. also added Dominique Besnehard.
