Original title: "Chassée du Paradis, rescapée de l'enfer" (Driven out of paradise, escaped from hell)
"It all begins with a pampered childhood of a cherished son, so much desired by a father who demanded to have a boy. Adolescence follows a terrible course of obstacles in the face of the misunderstanding of others, the violence of society, betrayals, and tragedies.
And finally, thanks to the miracles of surgery, comes the time to become a woman. A journey punctuated by intense happiness and harsh strokes of theatre, the destiny of Peggy Guex, born Roland, turns out to be a whirlwind of prodigious adventures that questions us: what is the difference? What do you really decide in a lifetime?
She could boast dazzling music-hall pseudonyms: Gloria Paname, Diana Santiago... She would act, defying convention, fear, and danger. Today, at 64 years old, she testifies to tell her truth and tell us about her absolutely atypical journey. To all of us without exception, without exclusion."
