Barbara Hammer's collage of photographs, documents, interviews, lyrical passages and dramatised scenes recalls the lives of two surrealist artists and lesbian Resistance fighters whose work and whose fate has largely been forgotten: Claude Cahun (whose real name was Lucie Schwob, 1894–1954) and her girlfriend and lover Marcel Moore (Suzanne Malherbe, 1892–1972).
Claude Cahun (writer Marcel Schwob's niece) and Marcel Moore were half-sisters. They fell in love around 1910 and were to spend their whole lives together; they are commonly regarded as the first lesbian couple to live and work together as artists. After studying in Oxford and at the Sorbonne, Claude Cahun made a name for herself as a writer and photographer in Paris. Her self-portraits in particular, wearing an array of different masks and costumes, were to make her famous, while Marcel Moore began to gain a reputation as an illustrator and draughtswoman. In 1932/33 they joined the anti-fascist artists association AEAR (Association des Ecrivains et Artistes Révolutionnaires), and in 1937 they moved to Jersey, one of the Channel Islands.
When the Germans occupied Jersey in 1940, the two girlfriends embarked upon a campaign of artistic resistance, putting up posters, writing mani-festos and pamphlets with which they hoped to incite the occupying forces to mutiny. In 1944, both women were arrested by the Gestapo and sentenced to death; the majority of their artistic output was destroyed. They were released from imprisonment after the island was liberated in May, 1945. Claude Cahun was never to recover from the experience.

法國抵抗運動鬥士兼超現實主義藝術家哥迪（1894-1954）和馬素（1892-1972）創作的表述肖像，對一戰及二戰期間歐洲的性別和身分政治作出了挑戰和質疑。哥迪和馬素原名分別為Lucy Schwob和Suzanne Malherbe，後為自己改了男性名字。自1911年起，哥迪開始嘗試拍攝自己的肖像，並成為她們大部分性別互換攝影作品的主題。這些照片於二人在世時從未展出，直至八十年代才公諸於世。
