XiXi

"The director met artist XiXi by chance in Berlin. At once it was clear that XiXi is an exceptional woman living in the present, guided by intuition, and seeking and experiencing freedom at any cost. In her art, she constantly discovers herself through dance, singing, and spontaneity.
The director used XiXI’s video diaries to make a film about an unbridled creative power that defies the demands of capitalist society and the conventions. Apart from friendship, the two women are linked by mutual family pressure to finally start living “normally”, to find work and housing.
Shots from XiXi’s life allow family traumas, difficult decisions and happy moments to emerge. Not only XiXi’s joyful enthusiasm and imagination, but also her impracticality and unwillingness to submit, hold up a mirror to modern, hectic times."
