A portrait of Virginia Woolf, including a recreation of the furor around the 1910 and 1912 post-Impressionist exhibits, documentation of the Woolfs' contribution to the creation of the League of Nations, the recently discovered letters of Virginia Woolf to Vita Sackville-West, and the actual 1940 Gestapo arrest list that shows the Nazis' intention to arrest Leonard and Virginia Woolf. With archival footage, paintings of the period, and family photos of a Victorian childhood of both beauty and abuse, the film interweaves the personal story of Virginia’s life and loves with the turbulent times she lived in. Includes interviews with Woolf's acquaintances and relatives; and readings of her works.
