Glavas and Lajum are sisters of Piaf's second husband Theo Sarapo, whom she met in January 1962 and was married to until her death in 1963. In 2015, Lajum wrote a book about their relationship titled Edith Piaf's Last Love. "It was a special and moving experience for us to hear Edith's voice again - the technology to create this atmosphere as if we were in the room with her," the sisters said in a statement. "The animation is beautiful, and with this film we will be able to show the real side of Edith - her joyful personality, her humor and her unwavering spirit. "

In this case, the filmmakers have every right to use technology for this purpose, even if we obviously cannot know what Piaf herself would have wanted. It is now up to the audience to decide whether they want to consume such content.
