Being usually seen as a film about the life of Annie Ernaux, that won't do this film justice. It's also a documentary, illustrating the world situation in the 1970s and onward. For example the illustration of how life in Chile really was when Salvador Allende was the ruler of the country, and what happened when Pinochet used an illegal military coup to become a sort-of dictator. Also, the film is a highlight because it's based on real super 8 material, which manages to really transport the shown situations and just feels more real. And yes, her life and that of her family is also shown, offering interesting insights and portraiing a very special person.

Plot summary
“In re-viewing our Super 8 films, shot between 1972 and 1981, it occurred to me that they comprised not only a family archive but a testimony to the pastimes, lifestyle and aspirations of a social class in the decade after 1968. I wanted to incorporate these silent images into a story which combined the intimate with the social and with history, to convey the taste and colour of those years.” Annie Ernaux
