SYNOPSIS

Our work is not about some big social structure or event. Our heroines are common housewives. They reveal the chaos and desire they felt as human beings before they became wives, housewives, and mothers. Recording their stories, we began to ponder what it means to live as a woman. Our first documentary is a record of voices of ¡®non-being¡¯ That¡¯s the reality from which we start out on our long and winding journey in search for the true content of ¡®being¡¯ as woman-being.
