—International Cinephile Society

“One of the rare documentaries about an artist that goes above and beyond to embody its subject’s creative spirit.”
—Variety

In the final decades of the Soviet Union, a queer female photographer breaks free from the constraints of a repressive regime on an inspiring journey to self‑acceptance. Drawn from the work and diaries of Czech photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková — dubbed “the Nan Goldin of Czechoslovakia” — this documentary captures a life lived through pictures.
