A young female photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková strives to break free from the constraints of Czechoslovak normalization and embarks on a wild journey towards freedom.

She heads off into the night streets of the communist capital city for a shift in a printing house, to spit-and-sawdust pubs, to communities of Roma people and the newly-arrived Vietnamese and Cubans… Snapshots of nudity, sex, and alcohol, but also boredom. Her search continues with her sexuality and coming out, her escape to Berlin and unknown Tokyo.

She keeps a record of her everyday struggles. The result is tens of thousands of negatives, preserving the transformation of body and soul over decades. What is Libuše looking for beyond the mirror?
