Anne Clark, English poet and spoken word-artist, has been celebrated worldwide on stage for more than 30 years. Shaped by the punk scene, she achieved fame and success in the early 1980s with her new wave classics 'Sleeper in Metropolis' and 'Our Darkness'. By creating groundbreaking analogue synthesizer sound structures and electronic music she became a forerunner of the techno movement and has influenced an entire generation of musicians. The documentary reflects the distinctive style of Anne Clark and demonstrates the strength of her music and poetry: in atmospheric landscapes, experimental Super 16 mm images and text animation displaying verses of her explosive poems. Filmmaker Claus Withopf has accompanied Anne Clark for almost a decade and gives a deep insight in her life and work. He is visualizing her complex socio-critical work and is creating an unusual kaleidoscope of existential poetry and emotional music.
