The film creates a portrait of this major Swiss artist through an organic, poetic presentation of themes that dominated her life and her art: transformation, creative crisis, trust in the unconscious, her creative process, dualism, nature, the playful and the role of women. “Every really new idea is an aggression. And aggression is a quality absolutely opposed to the image of femininity that men have in their minds and projected onto women. Men are just as strange a breed as women and are a distorted picture of what they could be .... What speaks out of a great piece of poetry, of art, of music, of philosophy, is always the total human being. And this is male as well as female .... I would even say that you have the obligation, as a woman, to prove through your way of life that you no longer consider valid the taboos that have kept women oppressed for thousands of years. Nobody gives you freedom - you have to take it.” Meret Oppenheim
