The film's narrative structure is a largely non-linear series of key events from the life of Edith Piaf, many of which the audience ultimately learns are evoked as {{flashback}}s from within Edith's own memory as she dies. Despite the fractured narrative approach, the film is anchored at the beginning by predominance of elements from her childhood, and at the end with the events prior to and surrounding her death.
