Synopsis:
Two things we don't choose: our parents and the name they give us. Not everyone likes their given name, but is it enough to change names in order to take on a new identity? Maybe names do have an effect on our lives? Filmmaker Sigi Marx-Arditi has an issue with her first name: a kind of mild obsession that has been bugging her since her army service. She sets out on a journey in order to understand the depths of her name, why we place so much importance on our name, and if there is a connection between someone's name and the course of their life. During this journey, Sigi meets characters that have changed (or would like to change) their names because they think this will improve their lives.
