■Story
The legacy of Niki de Saint Phalle is recalled in visits to her early works, her beloved Nanas, and the Tarot Garden.

A documentary by photographer Michiko Matsumoto filmed in Europe, America, and Japan.

The late French American artist Niki de Saint Phalle is remembered today for her Nanas, a highly spirited force of colorful female sculptures.
These figures, as with all of Niki’s works, possess an unbridled creativity that hums with the very energy of life.
Unpublished stills and recent footage shot in Europe, America, and Japan, recall the life and legacy of Niki de Saint Phalle, whose portraits and artworks director Michiko Matsumoto photographed from 1981.
Told with an artist’s eye, the documentary introduces in intimate detail such masterworks as the Tarot Garden in Tuscany ,Italy , a vast collection of large-scale works more than 20 years in the making.
