At birth, Nouschka forms a bond with her twin that can never be broken.

At six, she's the child star daughter of Quebec's most famous musician.

At sixteen, she's a high-school dropout kicking up with her beloved brother.

At nineteen, she's the Beauty Queen of Boulevard Saint-Laurent.

At twenty, she's back in night school. And falling for an ex-convict.

And it's all being filmed by a documentary crew.
