A film casting in Paris. Young actresses (and actors) try to incarnate the Swiss writer and traveler Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942). In order to get the role of this emblematic and sulfurous figure of the late 30's, child of the 'lost generation', antifascist and gay, this actors play scenes of her life, try to assume poses of hers from photos, and talk about their own life through the prism of her fascinating and ambiguous personality. A portrait arises, singular and multiple, public biography and intimate memory, drawn up by the woman of the past as well as by the young generation of 2014. Slowly, a reconstituted and collective figure emerges and encounters an own fictitious life.

Annemarie Schwarzenbach war eine schillernde Figur der Bohème der Zwanzigerjahre. Die begabte Schriftstellerin war lesbisch, drogensüchtig, Globetrotterin, von betörender Androgynität und, zum Leidwesen ihrer dominanten Nazi-verehrenden Mutter, Antifaschistin. Véronique Aubouy tut mehr, als Annemarie Schwarzenbach vor dem Vergessen zu retten. Sie holt sie in die Gegenwart. 16 junge Schauspieler und Schauspielerinnen agieren in wechselnden Rollen als Schwarzenbach und deren Freunde und Geliebte.

Annemarie Schwarzenbach 1920’lerin bohem sosyetesinin ışıldayan bir figürüydü. Yetenekli bir yazar olan kendisi; uyuşturucu alışkanlığı olan bir lezbiyendi. Bir gezgin, çift cinsiyetli – baskıcı Nazi-sevici annesini hayal kırıklığına uğratarak – aynı zamanda anti-faşist biriydi.
