About the book: 2021 / Cult director of the films "Abyss Blue", "Nikita", "Leon", "The Fifth Element", "Taxi", " Joan of Arc” and others. Luc Besson sincerely and artlessly talks about the first thirty years of his life. For the first time, he speaks so openly about his parents, about his dysfunctional and restless childhood, about the loneliness of a little boy, about his love for dolphins, about his passion for music and cinema. Besson remembers the day when, in defiance of his mother, he dropped out of school and went to Paris to make films. This act marked the beginning of his desperate struggle to make his first feature film and establish his place in the world of cinema. The book tells the story of how, having no support or support and running away from reality into dreams, a teenager managed to decide on a profession, how he eagerly learned the craft from everyone involved in the world of cinema, be it a director, cameraman or lighting designer. About how a great artist grew from small everyday stories, how from emotional wounds and disappointments images were born that were forever included in the treasury of world culture.
