From her birth in Cairo in 1933 to her first concert at the Olympia in Paris in 1956; from her marriage to Lucien Morisse, director of the newly emerging Europe 1 radio to the height of the disco scene; from her journey of discovery to India to the international success of Gigi L'Amoroso in 1974, Dalida the film is a touching and tragic portrait of an emotionally complex woman who was born to be a star. An unconventional modern woman living in conventional times. Despite her tragic death in 1987, Dalida's stage presence and incredible talent continue to live on.
