In a brand-new documentary, the actress who portrayed the unforgettable Émilie Bordeleau revisits her memories of filming and analyzes the cultural legacy of this cult saga. By exploring the timeless power of its characters, she testifies to the major impact this work has had on the collective imagination and on the history of Québec television.

In this film, Laerte conjugates the body in the feminine, and scrutinizes concepts and prejudices. Not in search of an identity, but in search of un-identities. Laerte creates and sends creatures to face reality in the fictional world of comic strips as a vanguard of the self. And, on the streets, the one who becomes the fiction of a real character. Laerte, of all the bodies, and of none, complicates all binaries. In following Laerte, this documentary chooses to clothe the nudity beyond the skin we inhabit.
