Modest teacher of pedagogy VESNA (50) becomes an accidental media star when, in an intoxicated state, she agrees to give a speech at a student protest in which her son also participates. The viral videos drew a lot of attention from the public, so she was declared one of the "POWERFUL WOMEN" by the American Embassy and received an invitation to participate in a performance at the Ambassador's residence during the celebration of the Eighth of March, for the social and political elite of her country.

Long before there were computer-animated images, Oskar Fischinger compiled abstract forms, pulsating color patterns and moving animations and combined them with music in short experimental films. In this documentary, Harald Pulch sheds light on the life and work of the "father of the video clip" and also shows an exclusive interview from 1993 with Elfriede Fischinger, the filmmaker's widow and colleague. In it, she talks about the couple's life as artists, who first worked in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin and finally in Hollywood.
