Synopsis
In this “naked self-portrait”, the filmmaker literally strips naked in front of the camera, wanting to tell the story of being her self. What and who shaped the woman she has become, her identity and how she sees herself? In all her personal revelations she has managed to turn the story of herself into a film that in all its privacy is first and foremost breathtakingly universal. She uses herself as a mirror, a window into relations and events and experiences that give insight, warmth, recognition and appreciation during the clearly tragic and hilarious revelations concerning the factors that formed a life.
