Synopsis
Dès sa plus tendre enfance à Alger, Marie-Pierre ne veut s’habiller qu’en robe et refuse obstinément son prénom de naissance : Jean-Pierre. A 17 ans, sa vie bascule lorsqu’elle découvre la revue d’un cabaret de travestis en tournée : le Carrousel de Paris. En quelques années, elle devient « Bambi », figure mythique des cabarets parisiens des années 50-60. En recueillant le témoignage d’une des premières transsexuelles françaises, Sébastien Lifshitz poursuit le travail entamé avec « Les Invisibles » et trace le destin d’une personnalité hors du commun.Comments

Des hommes et des femmes, nés dans l'entre-deux-guerres, ils n'ont aucun point commun sinon d'être homosexuels et d'avoir choisi de le vivre au grand jour, à une époque où la société rejetait l'homosexualité. Ils ont aimé, désiré, lutté, pour se faire reconnaître. Aujourd'hui, ils racontent ce que fut cette vie insoumise, partagée entre la volonté de rester des gens comme les autres et l'obligation de s'inventer une liberté pour s'épanouir.
