Don’t scream too loud. Don’t laugh too loudly. Don’t run wild, don’t misbehave, and whatever you do - don’t lose your mind. Always gentle, smiling, and pleasant. Not too sexual, not too free. Femininity has long been locked inside a rigid mold, the only space where a woman is permitted to compress herself to exist. And what is the price our psyche pays for this?

In this film we dive into the depths of the female emotional world, asking: What is the link between oppression and depression? Where does the term "hysteria" originate? What is permitted and what is forbidden? And how do we continue to pass this down from mother to daughter, generation after generation?

The film offers an ancient key to escape the cage - and that is recognizing the power that lies within our shadow side.
