Synopsis
The film explores borders in the life of a woman who broke away from her family's expectations in 1939 and set out to define her own ground with her own rules. Lise Forell, a Brazilian painter of Czech-German descent, lives a happy life that is marked by constant obstacles and challenges. Yet she also has the willpower to overcome and go beyond any crises, social norms and boundaries in general. At 85 years of age, she is able to assess her remarkable life story without being sentimental, with a due distance and creative energy.
