One Sings, the Other Doesn’t
Pauline, a 17-year-old rebellious girl, sings in her high school club and wants to drop out. Suzanne, 22, has to raise alone her 2 children. As the 60’s explode, they both fight for becoming women.
The intertwined lives of two women, set against the progress of the women's movement in which Agnès Varda was involved. Two young girls live in Paris in 1962. Pauline (17), a student, dreams of leaving her family to become a singer. Suzanne (22) is looking after her two children and coping with the tragedy of their father's suicide. Life separates them; each lives her own struggle as a woman. Pauline became a singer in a militant travelling band after a difficult marriage in Iran. Suzanne has worked her way out of poverty and now works at Family Planning. Ten years later, they meet again at a feminist demonstration. At the end of this chronicle, we find them together again, with their grown-up children.
