She loved him more than anything else; he loved her more than anyone else. Simone Signoret and Yves Montand were the most famous couple of their time. Haunted by her husband’s affair with Marilyn Monroe and hurt by all the others that followed, Signoret always refused the role of victim. What they knew was that they would never leave each other.

“In the last years of their relationship, everything is there: the past that nurtures them, the past that slowly kills them, the past that essentially holds them together. Their whole life is tangible and present. You don’t have to explain it because you can sense it from the traces it left behind. In the last ten years of their lives, you understand the true course of their relationship. And I think that in this period of life, I was able to identify more with Simone Signoret and ask myself essential questions: What defines a couple that has been together for so long? How do you cope when both partners have the same profession? When they have the same group of friends? What does it mean to be a free woman when, despite it all, she is tied to her husband? Is she as free as she thinks she is?”
