Duras loved talking and she had views on everything, which she expressed not only in private life but also on radio and television and in the articles she wrote. This portrait reveals the myriad facets of a complex personality.

Marguerite Duras' novels are widely read. Chances are you will have seen a Duras film or play. In this film, Dominique Auvray lets this writer, who was also a woman, a mother and a citizen with strong political convictions, reveal herself in her own words as a serious person with a great sense of humour; deeply sincere, but with a penchant for playing the devil's advocate; opinionated, yet a good listener.
