Bras, nosejobs, to wear a headscarf or not, issues at the salon - this block of five shorts explores how women accept or reject their society’s standards of beauty and propriety. Despite the paradox of existing as a woman, the heroines in these stories find moments to embrace their joy and be uniquely themselves - no matter the circumstances - or the men and undergarments left in their wake.
In the mid-1980s, a young girl in war-engaged Kurdistan tries to learn music solely by ear. Her family suppresses her grits. Despite these struggles, as the air raid siren blares, she chooses not to follow her family to the shelter—a decision made to taste a few moments of freedom, even at the cost of her life.
