Solo un destino parecía aguardar a una niña nacida en el seno de la alta burguesía británica: esperar la llegada de la mayoría de edad para ser presentada en sociedad y arreglar un buen matrimonio. Pero Jane Birkin escapo a el cuando la pelicula de Antonioni Blow-Up la convirtio en musa del Swinging London y la llevo en 1968 a un Paris que se preparaba para la revolucion. Alli conoceria al musico Serge Gainsbourg, con el que emprenderia una historia de amor convertida en leyenda.Un recorrido volcado en estos diarios en los que Birkin rememora su vida hasta 1982, año en que decide romper su relacion con Gainsbourg para emprender un nuevo camino. Un recorrido jalonado por discos, peliculas, fiestas, viajes y escandalos planetarios, como el provocado por Jet'aime... moi non plus, la cancion que la convertiria en figura iconica de la Francia de los setenta. Pero tambien por la sombra de la depresion y la muerte, que terminaria cambiandolo todo.Traduccion Felipe Cabrerizo.

Entre las decadas de los años veinte y cincuenta de la pasada centuria, las películas, que comenzaron siendo curiosidades de gabinete en ferias, lograron convertirse en el mayor espectáculo del mundo. Los protagonistas de aquellos shows de celuloide que encandilaban al publico desde la gran pantalla, pronto fueron erigidos como reyes dominantes del imaginario colectivo del siglo XX. Pero aquel panteon cada vez mas poblado de rutilantes deidades, albergaba asimismo siniestros y decadentes bastidores, plagados de sombras sin fin: espectros, maldiciones, muertes extrañas, crimenes sin resolver, adicciones, magia sexual, satanismo Hechos misteriosos, sucesos estremecedores y, en ocasiones, atroces ocurrian entre el lujo y la fatalidad, entre el oropel y la decadencia. Crueles destinos inexorables, tanto de numerosas estrellas, como de aspirantes a serlo.

Discovered in the stands during a Canadian football game, she was quickly launched into superstardom, becoming Playboy's favourite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sex appeal.
