Narodila se na chodníku, vyrůstala v nevěstinci, vydělávala si pouličním zpěvem... Přesto se z ní stala světoznámá hvězda první velikosti. Život Edith Piaf (vlastním jménem Edith Giovanna Gassion) byl bojem o hudbu, přežití a lásku. Její magický hlas, vášeň a přátelství s hvězdami její doby (Marlene Dietrich, Jean Cocteau, Yves Montand aj.) jí od dětství v chudobě přivedlo k obdivu celého světa. Žila vždy naplno a "ničeho nelitovala...". Díky své neuvěřitelně silné vůli a neobyčejnému nadání se vypořádala s tragickým osudem a její sen z dětství se stal skutečností. "Jednou budu bohatá, budu samé prachy. Budu mít bílý auťák a černého šoféra." Nechtěla dát světu šanci na ni zapomenout a povedlo se jí to beze zbytku. "Velcí umělci nepatří jen jedné generaci, zůstávají tu napořád."

The portrait of a woman who remembers. Sheila tells the story of Sheila, without concessions or evasions. Her childhood, her parents, her beginnings, the rumors, her love affairs, her marriage, her son, her successes, her farewells, her return, her mourning. The journey of an extraordinary popular icon who never stopped fighting. The courage of an artist who never gives up. "Sheila, toutes ces vies-là" is also a journey through time. 60 years of pop music, punctuated by numerous archives, personal films, timeless hits and illustrations by Marc-Antoine Coulon. But also 60 years of fashion, through a legendary wardrobe (her TV show outfits) that Sheila invites us to rediscover.
