Overview

Avant-garde filmmaker Dziga Vertov is best known and appreciated for his formal inventions and his theory of life captured unexpectedly. But he was also a tireless promoter of the cause of women and their concrete emancipation. This film is a personal tribute to this aspect of her work and a militant film tract which raises the question of women's aspiration to a society emancipated from patriarchal archaisms and the alienating weight of religious customs.
