Official synopsis
Nelly is the fragmented portrait of a woman torn between her unreconcilable identities: a writer, a lover, a call girl and a star. Several women in one, swinging between elation and disenchantment. A dense anti-biopic about cult Quebec writer Nelly Arcan (who died in 2009), with an intense performance by Mylène Mackay.
