herself
The director recounts her experience of being forced to become a mother to twins at the age of twenty-two. This context reinforces her feelings of inferiority and inadequacy, amid her difficult journey between the strange circumstances and the injustice of the bias surrounding her. This cinematic work reveals the richness of emotions and the complexity of experiences as they grow in a society that strictly imposes gender roles.
