Sinopsis
Four young female directors weave together four short stories that illuminate women’s experiences from various perspectives—of love, loss, the body, and the imagination of a fairer world.
A woman, heartbroken by her lover’s betrayal, decides to take revenge. A couple longing for a child discovers an abandoned baby in a public toilet. Nisa, who just got her first period, must face the reality that she can no longer compete in a swimming race. And in the fourth episode, Kempes wakes up in a world where gender roles are entirely reversed.
