(2025, USA, 76')
An intimate portrait of Kim Novak, a fiercely independent Hollywood star who left the spotlight behind to live life on her own terms. Blending personal archives with her unfiltered voice, the film moves between past and present in the wake of Vertigo, unveiling the story of an artist who placed freedom, authenticity, and resilience at the heart of her journey. More than a screen icon, Novak emerges as a painter, a poet, and a survivor, whose life defies the image the film industry once tried to impose.
