Notes about the movie:
The film moves away from male character-oriented stories and perspectives and tells a women's story and discusses the concept of family through the role of women in the patriarchal system. Additionally, it questions concepts such as male-female relations, family life, working life, and violence against women through the eyes of female characters.
