The Story October 27th 1949, Edith Piaf hears that Marcel Cerdan has accidentally died in a plane crash. They had met and loved each other only two years before in New York. Edith Piaf was a music-hall celebrity and Marcel Cerdan a boxing world champion. For the French, they were both their favorite stars. Meanwhile during the Second World War, Margot de Villedieu, Edith Piaf's look alike, had become Jacques Barbier's "godmother". She fell in love with his letters, that were in fact written by Francis Roman. At the end of the war, although she finds out about the letters and is disappointed, she decides to marry Jacques. But it's with Francis that she was really in love. And life went on.
