    Simone de Beauvoir is a renowned French writer, a representative figure of existentialism and a forerunner of feminism. This unique individual has shunned marriage and motherhood. Full of character and charisma, Beauvoir is the spiritual mentor of twentieth-century women. Beauvoir passed away in Paris on April 14th 1986. Since then, worldwide followers poured into Paris, hoping to accompany Beauvoir on her last journey. This thirteen-minute short film begins with her funeral attended by ten thousands of people mourning and remembering this great thinker.
