COMMENTS

DIRECTOR’S NOTE:

The film explores the character of Mara, who is built in the contradiction of being a successful woman and a “traditional” in which her patriarchal background makes her suppress her emotions and vulnerability, forcing her to sacrifice. The film aims to provoke the public and encourage other women and all other people who feel underrepresented and feel like they are serving roles in life that their inner spirit is trying to fight against.
