Icon of French Cinema

Back in Paris after years in Los Angeles, Judith wants to make a comeback with the French. But her agent tells her that the film she has engaged in has funding problems. Her daughter Zoé, a dancer, entrusts her with her attraction to a choreographer older than her. While it is difficult to recognize her on the street, Judith convinces herself that she remains an unbeatable icon of cinema. Flashback: in the late 1980s, 15-year-old Judith was immediately spotted during a casting by a prominent director.

In the past, Judith took her first steps on a movie set. In the present, the "icon" in need of recognition peels the organization chart of the production company that rejected it, convinced of a personal revenge against it.
Passing her housekeeper, Kim, for her assistant, in order to give herself the necessary luster to get an appointment, she gets back in touch with Pierre de Marrot, a prominent producer. Judith also meets her daughter's choreographer, in order to prevent any misconduct on her part.

Determined to recover her role by all means, Judith meets Pierre de Marrot, before being delivered by Carole Bouquet some tips for personal development.
In the past, young Judith confides in a friend about her relationship with the director.

Judith entrusts to her daughter the painful affair lived in her youth. All three then leave for the island of Porquerolles, off Toulon, to change air.

The island getaway with Kim and Zoé leads to an unexpected appearance: Yann, Judith's childhood love, whom she thought was dead.
Zoé, who has secretly reunited with her choreographer, goes to rehearsals, punctuated by a disturbing outing to the beach. Kim lives a brief idyll with a paddle instructor, while Judith discovers that Yann is not the man she cherished the memory of. In addition, he declares himself a transi fan of Pamela Anderson.

In Paris, Judith learns from her agent, who entrusts her dog in passing, that she has recovered her role.
A new director must take over the reins of the project. While the actress has just met a new meeting in a pet store, Kim tells her that she is afraid of her companion. Shortly after, during a conversation with her mother, Judith talks about her injured adolescence...
