With hair removal cream above the upper lip, scissors raised to the bangs, this is how we meet Apolonia in one of the first shots. At times an eccentric artist and creative feminist, she grew up in a theater in the midst of bohemian Paris. Lea Glob follows her over 13 years through all the ups and downs (including in her own life). Apolonia is refreshingly forthright, recounting fears, doubts, and even the breakup with her boyfriend in front of the camera. An award-winning portrait of a fascinating personality that rivals no screenplay in terms of drama. (Anja Klauck)
