Story Line
This film tells the story of eminent philosopher Agnes Heller, whose cinematic life is a model of ethical and political commitment. She experienced the Holocaust, repression under the Communist regime, and exile, but kept a tireless optimistic outlook. After the fall of the Eastern Bloc, her relentless activism took her back to Hungary to become, in her seventies, the fiercest critic of Hungary’s populist government, and she suffered political attacks until her tragic and sudden death.
