Composed of over 6,000 collages, the film examines the psychological terrain of women’s inner worlds. Mary Pickford and Janet Gaynor are seamlessly appropriated from the silent-era and cast into a surreal epic with an upending of the Frankenstein story.

For an original und innovative reworking of the Frankenstein’s story, exploring  women’s  desires, their innate power, and capability to create. An extraordinary new performance is created from a montage of existing footage.
