    Synopsis

    If you look into Uta's (70) face, around which the camera circles softly, you can divine her unusual life story. In these rugged, almost male features in her face one thing is written: confidence. Uta is almost blind. She and her partner live a modest life on the breadline. She is a street musician and a unique personality. Her songs tell stories of love and loss, of fast-moving time and a rampant fun society. Hearing of the hard times in her life, one is spellbound and surprised, because Uta has never surrendered to bitterness.
