Synopsis:
Dreamlike and traumatic at the same time was the life of Hedwig Kiesler, a young Viennese woman who made a career in Hollywood. The tragicomedy tells the adventures of a woman with many faces: Hedwig Kiesler became Hedy Lamarr, style icon, film actress, madwoman and inventor, seductress, prisoner, victim and perpetrator at the same time.
Hedy Lamarr is a face, a mask, sometimes a grimace behind which we can only guess the truths of her life, a storyteller who works fairy tales from the fabric of her own life.
