SYNOPSIS

A tribute to the unknown legacy of European women who fought for women’s rights. We are heirs to a lineage of brave women, but who were those ancestors who occupied the streets of Europe to fight for our rights? One of the most important was the right to vote for women, which finally recognized women as true citizens. Faced with unjust laws that came from time immemorial, they rebelled. The echo of those ancestors resonates strongly today in the women who occupy the streets to claim their rights, denounce violence and defend equality together.
