A tribute to women as creators, goddesses and survivors of prejudice. The "On the Creative Power of Women" programme is dedicated to the two actresses Maria Schneider (Last Tango in Paris) and Lena Nyman (I am Curious Yellow) who died within days of each other in February this year.

A spectacularly beautiful documentary in which violist Janine Jansen is followed around for a year. We see the recording of a new CD of Bach, the making of a magazine called Janine which only ran to one edition, concert fragments, travels to Dubrovnik and time spent with her then boyfriend Julian Rachlin. It all shows what a virtuoso musician she is, but it also leads to a breakdown and she does not perform again for a long time. No information is provided about her private life. The question of a new lover is not answered. The film is primarily concerned about her creative relationship to her music.
