Synopsis

After a century of invisibility, composer Charlotte Sohy (1887-1955) is finally coming out of the shadows of history. As we rediscover her work, we meet an exciting and modern music and the singular destiny of a composer who finally enters into posterity. At the same time, the film puts into perspective the collective amnesia for which women artists have cruelly paid the price.
