But Carl Djerassi always led more than one life. He made a brilliant scientific career, he has written many novels and theatre plays and he is an art collector. His private Paul Klee collection is the biggest wordwide and he has founded one of the greatest artist’s colonies in the United States.
He permanently travels around the world and nothing - it seems - can stop his energy. Even with 85 years. In this very personal portrait he looks back on his life.
