At the age of 26, Théophanis Lamboukas meets Edith Piaf, in January 1962. He is to become her second husband and the duo will perform her last big hit, `A quoi ça sert l´amour?´ When the star´s secretary, Claude Figus, introduces them to each other, Théo is so dazzled by `the Little Sparrow´ that he is speechless with emotion. Smitten, Edith confides to Figus, `I want to see your friend again so I can find out whether he´s as smart as he is good-looking, because he hasn´t said a word all evening.´ They are driven to see each other again and Piaf encourages Théo to take up a career as a singer. She invents his stage name, Sarapo (`I love you´ in Greek). They form a couple in life and on the stage, until Piaf´s death on the 10th October, 1963. Théo, her last love, joins her seven years later, victim of a car accident.
Their wonderful and tragic story is evoked here by Christie Laume; the singer´s last months as they´ve never been revealed before.
