Logline

A world premiere: An enthralling documentary about female art in a patriarchal arts scene.

Five drama students haven’t seen each other in 36 years. Now reunited, these women share their stories. What experiences have they had? What have they accomplished? What would they rather not have done? Including young female students in their conversation makes this a contemplative cross-generational work.
