Sal et Ray sont deux jeunes sœurs qui vivent dans un orphelinat. Alors que Sal, 10 ans, aime les chiens et rêve d'en avoir un pour elle, sa petite sœur Ray ne voudrait rien d'autre qu'une maison où elle se sentirait chez elle. Un jours, alors que Sal découvre un chiot abandonné qu'elle surnomme Noisette, les deux sœurs apprennent qu'elles viennent d'être adoptées : elles pensent alors que leurs rêves sont devenues réalités

Every encounter with an image, every interaction searches for its own form. She is the other gaze is a collaboration with five female visual artists of an older generation who have been part of the Viennese art scene since the 1970s and engaged in the women's movement. In dialogue with the filmmaker Renate Bertlmann, Linda Christanell, Lore Heuermann, Karin Mack and Margot Pilz share their early works and artistic practices. They remember how their self-determination evolved between artistic ambitions, economic constraints, adaptation and resistance to the prevailing patriarchal social structures. In their role as feminist pioneers, the protagonists are a great influence on the contemporary art scene and the self-understanding of younger artists today. With their voices and narratives, they become collaborators passing on feminist thinking and artistic experiences.
