Touchée par les fées

Ariane Ascaride is much more than the actress recognized by all that she has become.

She is a woman who embodies the values of femininity, the voice of freedom and women's emancipation in the same way as Gisèle Halimi, whom she was able to embody so well. But all this was not done without struggles, without battles, without suffering and revolts. Arianne has forged the armor that protects her throughout her life. Scarred by her pain and the blows she received during her fights, she always knew how to remain attentive and benevolent to others.
Touched by the Fairies (Fada in southern language) is the story of her years of intense struggles and happiness written by Marie Desplechin and directed by Thierry Thieû Niang, without whom this painful cry of love would have remained buried in the depths of her being. Here, Ariane opens up, tells her story with sincerity, humanity, courage and modesty without ever complaining, and sweeps away the hardest moments of her life with a great burst of laughter.
