When Sophie and Paula coincidentally met, they quickly became inseparable. It all began in a small Swiss village. Without knowing each other, they began a conversation, which blossomed into an ongoing exchange of letters, discussing and talking about everything: Anger, art, Vienna, their own relationship dynamics, as well as their innermost thoughts. Together they embarked on a journey of unraveling their histories and questioning the pathes that led them to where they are today. Through an auto-fictional lens, they strive to comprehend the impact of narratives and the story behind Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
