This animated feature film incorporates music, theater and sculpture techniques while following one woman's journey through her marriages, both imagined and real. Her experiences transform her from a fiery young girl craving love to a domestic abuse victim and eventually lead to her discovery of gender fluidity, self-acceptance, and finding a better place in society. The singing Mythology Sirens and her own Biology are characters that influence her, showing how our relationship roles are shaped by both the stereotypes of our cultures and the neuroscience of our own bodies.

　　一九二零年代的拉脫維亞，美麗聰慧的安娜與企業家相戀，生活卻不如預期順遂。經濟大蕭條重擊他們的事業，安娜貝囚居在樹林小屋內，養育八名兒女；蘇聯與納粹的輪番入侵，日子難上加難。堅強的安娜挺過所有風浪，卻過不了腦裡的關卡。獨特的幽默口白搭配色彩濃鬱、想像力豐富的動畫，導演將長年束縛家族及自己的憂鬱問題，轉化成古怪鮮麗的視覺饗宴。
