What happens

The Beaches of Agnès (French: Les plages d'Agnès) is a 2008 French documentary film directed by Agnès Varda. The film is an autobiographical essay, in which Varda revisits places from her past, reminisces about her life and work, and celebrates her 80th birthday on camera. She said it would most likely be her last film, but subsequently released several projects, including the Oscar-nominated documentary Faces Places (2017). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
