One shoots, the other speaks: Claire Simon and Mimi Chiola. However, Mimi is not a star. Strolling through Nice, Italian songs all about her, we are quickly convinced that every life is a story, and that every story can be made into life. Mimi is distraught because she feels she is everyone and no one at the same time. A demure, loving narrator, she is an authentic fictional character, whose unpredictable tale expresses an inexhaustible longing for freedom that knows no bounds.
