Libuše Jarcovjáková is a legend of world photography and a free-spirited woman who defied all conventions. Her life is a mosaic of fascinating encounters and wild stories spanning the gritty underground of communist Czechoslovakia, exclusive photoshoots for fashion elites in Tokyo, and her dramatic escape to West Berlin, where she witnessed the fall of the Iron Curtain. From thousands of analog photographs and pages from her personal diaries, director Klára Tasovská created a formally unique documentary that captivated audiences at the Berlinale film festival.
