I thought she had a lot of wisdom to impart and a fascinating life story to accompany a stunning body of work, but also I was excited that telling her story would challenge me in several ways," Klayman said in an interview with

T: The New York Times Style Magazine.[4]

The film follows Herrera through her current daily work schedule while also taking a look at her long life.[5]
