Synopsis
A young woman (Margarethe von Trotta) breaks out of her marriage. But her desire for self-realization soon collides with inner and outer obstacles: Not only the working world constraints and men’s bigotry but also her self internalized role expectations stand in the way of her emancipation. A Free Woman describes autobiographical experiences of main actor and co-scriptwriter Margarethe von Trotta. –Kinowelt
