Synopsis :

During a short trip to Roma, I buy a book at a bookstore. On the first page, a name is written with a ball pen : "Rebecca M". Later, I discover that this woman has written some of her life's fragments in the blank spaces of the novel...

The movie weaves lives and adventures of women coming from reality and fiction. Thus, Catherine Deneuve, Lucille from La Chamade (Françoise Sagan's famous novel) and Rebecca get blended and give rise to a composite, fragmented and poetic portrait.
