Colette l'Indomptable

In the space of a few years, Colette rebuilt and discovered herself, ready to write the great novels of maturi

For Colette, the period from 1908 to 1914 was crucial. First, her life as an actress: from an anonymous author writing in the shadow of her husband, Colette became a scandalous music-hall star, exposing her lesbian love affairs on stage and in the city, performing half-naked in mimodramas invented by the great Georges Wague (precursor of mime Marceau). We follow the troupe's tour. For the first time, Colette earned a living, freeing herself from her tutelage. But she was also fighting to make a name for herself and force Willy to recognize her rights as a writer.
The years went by, and in 1914 she was on the Verdun front, where she had gone to find - under an assumed name and with false papers - her new love, the journalist Henri de Jouvenel. Her pragmatic feminism clashes with that of her landlady, who believes in the collective emancipation and redistribution of gender roles made possible by war. She discovers herself to be a strong, individualistic woman, with no fears or qualms about the future ahead of her.
