  Nana wrote her book to thank all the people who helped her to become what she is. While reading it, we learn that her father would have preferred a boy, that her parents often clashed and that they deprived themselves of food for their daughters during the war.
  You, the Artist – Report – In spite of her particular appearance and a damaged vocal cord, Nana made her career in the whole world. Nana is also an engaged artist.

  Sound excerpt from "Over the rainbow" by Judy Garland. This song represents the moment when Nana began to dream.
  Sound excerpt from "Habanera de Carmen" by Maria Callas. She became a symbol for having encouraged her to sing what she likes.
  Sound excerpt from "Pete Kelly’s Blues" by Ella Fitzerald. She was her model and Nana imitated her with precision.
  Before the mirror – Nana presents herself while looking at herself in the mirror.

  

  Report – Nana welcomes us into her parisian pied-à-terre. She rehearses with her pianist Luciano Di Napoli. Then, she takes us to her first apartment where her stage dresses are stored.
  Report – Several of her friends pay tribute to her : Charles Aznavour, Stéphane Bern, Farah Pahlavi, Mireille Darc, Claudia Cardinale and Régine.
  Nana speaks about her first meetings with famous people and about stage fright that still haunts her.   

  TV excerpts from duets: "La paloma adieu" (with Mireille Mathieu) (1975), "Habanera de Carmen" (with Serge Lama) (1977), "La paloma" (with Julio Iglesias) (1979), "Try to remember " (with Harry Belafonte) (1979), "Ne me quitte pas" (with Nina Simone) (1977), "Te voglio bene assaje" (with Claudia Cardinale) (1977), "Les enfants qui s’aiment" (with Annie Girardot) (1981) and "La Périchole d’Offenbach" (with Thierry Le Luron) (1980).

  Lénou joins them. She regrets having learned late that her mother had remade her life. She chose her nickname as a stage name and didn’t add the name of Mouskouri because she estimates that she must deserve it. Together, they sing "Try to remember".
  The hostess concludes the interview touching on the passing of Jean-Claude Brialy, the one to whom Nana dedicated her book. For Nana, he was a positive person and he taught her that our memories make us exist.
