Synopsis

Helga Chinagi, a Viennese pensioner, creates a photo book about her life and origins. In doing so, she speaks about growing up in the post-war period, her work as a nurse, and her romantic relationships in the times when patriarchy was more robust than today. It is the multifaceted life of a fighter who asserted herself as a feminist away from academic discourse. Director Anna Hirschmann paints a considerate and funny portrait of a strong woman who is especially happy about one thing in her everyday life: her washing machine!
