A very beautiful film about 3 real women and their experiences growing up in a repressive society in Costa Rica. They didn’t want to be filmed so the filmmaker recorded their voices and used actors to portray their memories and stories about life, love and what it means to be a woman. 

The film has been selected for screening by D&G Hand Social Care Partnership Women's Network, who will provide an introduction and lead the post-film discussion.
