The documentary is a portrait of concept artist Kitty Von Sometime and her journey as she creates the Weird Girls Project.

From it’s conception seven years ago by Kitty Von Sometime, The Weird Girls Project has quickly become a national phenomenon in Iceland and every episode is covered by the national TV and print media.
