A French writer's marriage falls apart while he is working on Fritz Lang's version of ‘The Odyssey’ when his wife accuses him of using her to curry favour with the film's brash American producer.

With the passing of Brigitte Bardot, French cinema has lost one of its most iconic faces and influential muses. Bardot was more than a film star; she embodied a new era in which female freedom, sensuality and individuality took centre stage on the silver screen. At a time when Hollywood was dominated by stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Bardot was France's answer: less polished, rawer, but precisely because of that, authentic and revolutionary.
