Synopsis

Three women speak openly with each other while doing housework, small acts of emotional resistance. The home and the face as an extension of memory. Beyond the walls and the epidermis, the same experience: one of continued violence against women in Jordan. Very close up framing, very warm light. And most of all, the courageous struggle toward making them the ones who define their own existence. (LEP)
