Synopsis
The film chronicles the turbulent life of Dalida, the talented diva of European music, whose star continues to shine despite her tragic death in 1987. She was born in '33 in Cairo and performed her first concert at the Olympia Theatre in Paris in '56, while in the 70s she became the reigning queen of the disco scene. She was married to Lucien Morisse, but like many men in her life, he committed suicide. Dalida took several trips to India looking for inner peace, but was never able to find it.
