AB  - The world-famous Chilean author reveals her passionate engagement with life and politics. She has written nearly twenty novels, the most famous of which are The House of the Spirits, Paula and Aphrodite. Her books have sold more than thirty-five million copies in over thirty languages. Born in Peru in 1942 and raised in her grandparent s house in Chile, she started her career as a journalist.

Isabel Allende manages to transform her passionate and painful life into literature, exorcizing her experiences onto the page. Each of her most successful novels marks an important part or even watershed in her biography, like the tragic loss of her 28-year-old daughter Paula who died in Spain from a metabolic disease. The film contains intimate interviews with her and her close companions and reveals her complicated personality. Several of her readers explain how meaningful her books are to them.
