Gülbiye, the only woman in the village farming silkworms for the purpose of producing silk thread, teaches her granddaughter Ada about silkworm farming and the oya rituals through tales, while an oya collector embarks on a journey to discover the story behind one of his favorite oya. The story introduces to us oya's, which were once the voice of oppressed women but later became a source of empowerment by allowing women to achieve economic independence.


Gülbiye, l'unica donna del villaggio a dedicarsi all'allevamento dei bachi da seta per la produzione di fili di seta, trasmette alla nipote Ada l'antica arte della bachicoltura e i rituali legati alle oya attraverso storie intrise di tradizione. Parallelamente, un appassionato collezionista intraprende un viaggio alla scoperta della storia che si cela dietro una delle sue oya preferite. Questo documentario ci guida alla scoperta delle oya, un tempo simbolo della voce delle donne oppresse, poi trasformatesi in uno strumento di emancipazione, capace di donare alle donne forza e indipendenza economica.
