YAEL NAIM, A new soul

SYNOPSIS

For the very first time, international singer Yael Naim reveals herself in a documentary co-written with director Jill Coulon. Filmed over a period of five years, YAEL NAIM, A NEW SOUL tells the intimate, sensitive and poetic story of the liberation of a multifaceted female artist.

« YAEL NAIM – A NEW SOUL » takes the opposite tack to the standard biopic. It gradually paints a portrait of a free woman in mid-life who questions her choices and the promises she made in her youth: ‘Have you become the person you promised yourself you would be?’ Through this intimate and universal journey, the film transcends the framework of the musical documentary. It questions the balance between creation and motherhood, the desire of the absolute and everyday anchoring, artistic identity and social pressures, whether they come from patriarchy or matriarchy. With modesty, poetry and intensity, the film captures an inner voice that tries to remain true to itself, to assert its independence and to spread its wings, whatever the cost, whatever the price to pay.
