Notes about the movie:
In the film produced by female directors, solidarity between women is presented as a tool that solves the chaos in women's lives. The language of solidarity established between women was positioned as an alternative to the masculine discourse and established a narrative against the traditional masculine discourse. Women do not have to be part of masculine power to escape victimization.
