From the Second World War to the Algerian War, from the benches of Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC) to the guerrillas of the FAR in Guatemala, and through Castro–Guevara-era Cuba, the film traces the extraordinary destiny of Michele Firk—a woman passionate about cinema and revolution, a free lover, completely liberated from the conventions of her time. Presented at the Cannes Film Festival.
