Film director Drahomíra Vihanová is preparing some interviews with two women. The women are at first sight opposites, but in reality they have much in common. Through the interviews the film director hopes to get a deeper understanding of herself as well. What unite all three of them is creativity, what creativity means for women, and how they combine their creative projects with their daily life. Doctor Alena Konecná, 40 years old, is a macromolecular chemist, working at the Sigma Plant's Research Institute. She says that a woman gets emotionally involved in her project and sticks to it, while men can leave unfinished projects and start new ones. As a researcher she has fallen in love with fluoroplastics. To find solutions give her a sense of fulfillment, of having accomplished something, which makes her happy. Anezka Zlatníková, 71 years old, works in the ticket office at Srbsko railway station in the countryside. Since her teens she has been writing thousands of poems, but never been published. Writing poems gives her a new lease of life, and makes life beautiful. She agrees that there are links between science and art.
