Nina Wagner, 56, a poet from Vienna and a single mother, has taken a teaching post in New York in the hope of a new start, one in which life could be lived freely, beyond the images and rules of patriarchy. As she walks through her very personal New York, her whole life comes back to her: her loves, her family, society. Watching the American world around her, she finds unexpected insights into the problems she brought with her from Vienna, in a country, months before Trump's re-election, where the economy has taken over every part of life, art included. Then an act of violence in the street turns her from observer into participant.
