The documentary centers around Marguerite Duras's discussions about her life as a writer. After viewing another film, Duras expressed her desire to share her thoughts in a way that felt authentic to her. Jacquot facilitated this by inviting her to his film crew's setup at her home in Neauphle-le-Château.

Over two days of continuous filming, Duras opened up in a space she called 'the music room,' a setting filled with a piano and records. This intimate environment allowed her to convey her thoughts freely, capturing her essence as a writer in a candid format. The film is a rare glimpse into the mind of a literary figure, making it a significant piece for those interested in Duras’s work and the documentary genre.
