""Zueignung."" (Dedication) depicts the complex identity of a theater actress, embossed with entanglement between the role and the own personality. It deals with the borders between the other and the I, the inner core and the surface, the role and the own identity. It weaves a close web of words and images. The images track fragments of the roles in the protagonist's nature, without her performing them in the film. Only her voice interweaves the literary texts with the protagonist's autobiographical poems and words touching themes such as identity, gender, love, desire, disappointment and insanity. ""Words, which one has said, words upon which one has gotten drunk, only half aware upon their significance, upon which one has hurt oneself, with which one has identified oneself. Slowly one has grown into them, to late one was appalled upon them, unexpectedly one has stumbled upon them, unexpectedly they have revealed themselves, only to darkly smoldering wander a mysterious path, which will not leave one again."" Julia Gille, February 2010
