Overview
Lena, aged twenty, wants to know all she can about life and reality. She collects information on everyone and everything, storing her findings in an enormous archive. She experiments with relationships, political activism, and meditation. Meanwhile, the actors, director and crew are shown in a humorous parallel plot about the making of the film and their reactions to the story and each other. Nudity, explicit sex, and controversial politics kept this film from being shown in the US while its seizure by Customs was appealed.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A provocative meta-cinema experiment where a young woman's earnest, messy quest to understand life and politics unfolds alongside irreverent glimpses of the film being made around her. It's deliberately artificial and intellectually playful, designed to provoke as much as enlighten.
