Im Schatten der Bilder (WT)

The film tells the impressive story of a peasant girl from Lustenau, who lived between 1886 and 1944 and developed from an art student who was accepted to the School of Applied Arts in Munich without taking an entrance exam into one of Austria's most influential artists. In the years of the First World War, driven by patriotic passion, she disguised herself as a man to fight for her country. After the war, she established herself in Vienna as a passionate advocate of women's art and even became president of the VDBKÖ, while courageously living her homosexuality openly at a time when it was still criminalized
However, her career took a dark turn when she joined the NSDAP, which was still banned at the time, in the early 1930s.
