A male public space, women's bodies are disturbing. Neither men nor women know what to do with women's bodies. This film is the encounter of women in search of a meaning, querying how to confront their own individual stories. Who are they today in the face of a society which "doesn't know what to do", whereas they are increasingly numerous left outside, in the public space. A society impregnated with religious convictions and ignorance of others, making it a constant target.
