A blend of historical reality and fiction, the film depicts a passionate and mysterious romance that had a profound effect on the actress's life. Free and modern, Bernhardt tells her own story through this love story, oscillating between myth and truth, offering an intimate look at one of the most influential figures on the French stage.
With its themes of romance and historicaldrama, Sarah Bernhardt, La Divine appeals to a wide audience, including fans of biographical stories and those with a passion for the world of theater.
