In 1977, actor and director David Carradine embarked on an ambitious yet unfinished project. His idea was to film an actress from her youth onward, allowing the story to grow with her, in order to tell the tragic epic of Mata Hari, the famous dancer and secret agent. The role was played by his daughter Calista, who began filming at only fifteen years old. Each year, father and daughter returned to the camera, shooting new sequences and thus capturing the protagonist’s growth in real time. Through this previously unseen footage, the documentary offers an intimate and surprising portrait of the complex relationship between Carradine and his daughter.
