"A Woman" is a cinematic essay about identity. A search into the wounds of exile and a reflection on the function of memory. A haunting and intimate portrait of the director’s own mother. It is the story of an imitation artist, trying to adapt to the challenges of real life … as a woman.

[DOK.fest '22] Jeanine Meerapfel uses a style close to Chris Marker and Marguerite Duras to ask us how memory can be represented through a journey around the places where her mother lived. It's a personal story but also a political look at Nazism in Europe and dictatorship in Argentina. Meerapfel superimposes the photographs on the current landscapes, writing the past in the present and "filming what is not seen".
