A documentary film looking at the influence the French writer Simone de Beauvoir's work and unconventional lifestyle have had on women throughout the world. Her life story, with all its conflicting emotions and experience, is told in parallel with the stories of the women appearing in the film - all of whom cite Simone de Beauvoir as a major force in their lives, in the year that marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of her best-known book, The Second Sex.
