Synopsis
The documentary reveals the dramatic story of an unconventional artist of Czech origin who was ahead of her time with her views. Toyen, a brave woman with an unresolved sexual identity, spent part of her life in France. A close friend of André Breton, she has always maintained absolute creative freedom, even at the cost of a life of poverty. Now the works of the most famous surrealist are selling for astronomical sums. We get closer to Toyen through the memories of friends, unique film footage and numerous photographs. Her paintings are reflected upon by experts and especially by collectors who live with the works.
