Emmy Andriesse (1914-1953) was one of the leading avant-garde photographers in the Netherlands. Between 1935 and 1953 she recorded what struck her. Her work area was mainly on the street. There she made reports and portrayed people she encountered. The photos she took in the hunger winter of 1944 have become symbols of the misery during the war and are still widely published. The documentary gives a picture of her work and her life, the time in which she lived and the development of photography during that period, and conversations with people who knew her, such as her colleagues Eva Besnyö, Ed van der Elsken and Ad windy.
