Helke Sander looks back on her life. Her stay in Finland opened her eyes to more egalitarian relations between men and women. In Berlin, she launched the New German Women's Movement and began making films. She became one of the central figures of the New German Cinema, taking a radical look at society. This documentary provides an interesting insight into post-war German society and the filmmaker's place in it as a woman, mother, artist and activist.
