When Kokoschka marched off to war in 1914, even he felt a certain sense of relief. ("It was very exhausting," he was later heard to say. "I had to climb into her room at night.")

Commuting on his Yamaha between Tobey and Eulice, he meets Jan (Maggie Thrett), a freaked-out flower child who tempts him with "magic brownies" and wins his heart by asking, "Do you think it's possible to be Jewish and psychedelic at the same time...
