The film follows the creation of the play "As Comadres" in post 2018 Brazil (after Bolsonaro's election), supervised by Ariane Mnouchkine, founder of Théâtre du Soleil in France. 20 women from different backgrounds come together, to bring to life this musical about the female universe. Beyond the theatrical questions, the film throws light on the women's desire and constant efforts to escape the dominant mechanisms of our society (including racism, for instance) and reformulate the paradigms of collective work.

The story between a “black mother” and the boss’ daughter. A naïf relationship of pure love bounds a child to her nanny, but also hides a certain Brazilian social cultural system.

Over one thousand Indian peasants have decided no longer to put up with the problems in Indian society: patriarchs, corruption, and, worse, indifference. For this struggle, they have chosen an unexpected tool: theater. Through courageous statements and passages from their theater-forum plays, members of the Jana Sanskriti (People's Culture) show us a solidary India. The troop headquartered in West Bengal, is part of a movement present in ten states in the country.
