Michel Legrand, jazz musician and composer extraordinaire, has left his mark on the history of cinema, including the films of Jacques Demy, especially The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the 60th anniversary of which is being celebrated in Cannes. Using never-before-seen archives and personal accounts, the film looks back on a lifetime dedicated to music, and the career of a man who served it masterfully to the very end.

作为法国影史最伟大的艺术家之一，雅克·德米一生只执导了13部长片，但《瑟堡的雨伞》《柳媚花娇》《驴皮公主》这些作品，证明了他不可撼动的大师地位。本片由法国电影资料馆馆长弗雷德里克·博诺编写，是对德米电影生涯的首次全面呈现。
