That's him! – Three words that may have given rise to the stage name of the surrealist painter Toyen. A name as mysterious as herself. As if she was still sweeping her tracks behind her. Others gave their testimonies about her. Painter Jindřich Štyrský, with whom she created a lifelong artistic duo. The Jewish poet Jindřich Heisler, whom she hid in her Žižkov studio until the end of the war, because he refused to board the transport. Her friends from Devětsil Vítězslav Nezval, Jaroslav Seifert or Karel Teige. Or the French surrealists, when in In 1947 she went into exile in Paris. Thanks to these testimonies, but also based on searches in archives in the Czech Republic and France, Milena Štráfeldová wrote her fictionalized biography. The story of Marie Čermínová, a native of Prague's Smíchov, whom André Breton himself included among the ten most important world artists of the 20th century.
