At Christmas 1943, on the North Sea coast, a girl of four sings 'Silent Night' to German troops. Fifty years later, a celebrated chanteuse and screen star, she performs at the Tower of David in Jerusalem. Around her drift Yves Saint Laurent, Fassbinder, her late husband with his strange manuscript about her, and Charles, a dilettante captivated by a doomed young producer, in a mix of comic-strip, fairy tale and document.
