Investigating the monumental Tarot Garden and the Stravinsky Fountain in Paris, Japanese director Michiko Matsumoto guides us on a joyous retrospective of her friend and French American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, by combining photographs from her personal archive, with new footage.

The film is a heart-warming celebration of de Saint Phalle’s ability to mix serious feminism with playful frivolity, and the decorative with the disturbing.
