synopsis
This routine drama's main distinctions are the musical numbers by Julia Migenes Johnson as a misbehaving singer and the computer-assisted scenes that are melded with actual scenes for the first time in French cinema. The singer has been missing her scheduled performances -- or just simply cuts out half-way through a concert. Since her producer cannot reform her, he funds a computer scientist to come up with a believable hologram that will perform in her place -- and none will be the wiser. Once the hologram is created and up and running, the singer's former lover gets suspicious, and the plot thickens.
