Plot

How does an artist trailblaze the world of abstraction at the dawn of the 20th century without receiving recognition? Hilma af Klint, a misunderstood visionary, revolutionized art with her astonishing creations, crafting her first abstract work in 1906, predating Kandinsky by four years. Yet, her genius remained hidden. This documentary explores her life, the often-overlooked contributions of women in art history, and the unfolding of an artistic scandal. Through her relentless search for meaning and innovative vision, af Klint's extraordinary legacy finally emerges from obscurity, challenging the narratives of art history.
