Clémence Desrochers - Clémence Among the Gods

Director Philippe Baylaucq captures Clémence Desrochers in total candidness, as she recounts her childhood, and career as a writer, broadcaster, singer, actress and monologuist. Inspired by life's most ludicrous aspects, her work has trampled barriers of decorum and tackled everything from menopause to suicide, all in the service of laughter and connection.
