In this episode, we explore the personal correspondence between Piaf and three pivotal figures in her life: Dimitri Horn, Marcel Cerdan, and Louis Gerardin. Through these letters, we uncover themes of love, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of happiness amidst personal tumult and tragedy. Discover a side of Piaf seen by few, as we traverse the emotional landscape of a woman whose life was as dramatic and passionate as the songs she sang.
