BERLINALE

A family portrait in three generations of women artists.

FILMDIENST
“Pethke succeeds in finding a plausible narrative thread and convincing images, sometimes through
classical storytelling,
other times through fractured chronology.”

IN THEIR OWN LEAGUE
“Quietly important documentary.”
 

Synopsis

Through the intertwining lives of three generations of women artists, this documentary challenges the art world’s enduring double standard: why are men immortalized as creative geniuses while women are relegated to being muses and mothers? This powerful exploration excavates hidden histories and untold stories, asking not just who gets to make art, but who gets to be remembered for it.
