Summary

Four Turkish and Iranian women gather in Barcelona to share their experiences of navigating the complexities of being born and raised as women in patriarchal and religious societies. These societies dictate not only how they should behave but also define their identities. As they delve into their memories and articulate their perspectives on life, the poetic verses of Turkish poet Didem Madak bring their stories to life. These shared narratives serve as a powerful unifying force, filled with a profound sense of sisterhood, solidarity, and artistic expression.
