Synopsis
If you are still wondering who could be the spiritual mother of Madonna, Rihanna, Mariah, Lady Gaga and all the other divas who now make the earth go round at the rhythm of their footsteps, look no further. Her first name is Barbra. Her last name is Streisand. And the real Queen B, 50 years before Beyoncé, is her and nobody else. This "funny girl" with an ungrateful physique and the voice of a mezzo-soprano will redefine the rules of the game and impose her differences: a new type of beauty, and above all a new model of free, non-conformist and powerful female star, who will open the way for artists claiming girl power.
