This feature film is Valérie Lemercier's sixth as a director.
Freely inspired by the life of the Canadian singer, he stages Aline Dieu, a young girl with a golden voice, revealed to the general public after meeting her future husband, producer Guy-Claude Kamar (played by Sylvain Marcel) .
A film which, according to actress Geneviève Morissette (Aline's sister) pays homage to Celine Dion's career.
Cinemas still closed
This postponement comes in an increasingly complicated context for theaters, kept closed because of the pandemic.
Cinema attendance fell by 70% in 2020 and the sector is bloodless.
While a reopening of cinemas had been planned for January 7, before being dismissed by the executive, the world of culture still hopes for a potential relaxation of the health protocol by the end of the month.
