Synopsis
After an unexpected encounter with a group of women determined to reclaim the streets, Patricia embarks on an intimate yet collective journey to confront the violence she has experienced.
Against the backdrop of resurgent feminist protests, she delves into her own history, her mother's past, and the stories of the women she fights alongside. Together, they discover that in a violent world, unity, self-defense, and the preservation of joy are acts of revolution.
Through this process, Patricia finds empowerment in collective action and realizes that solidarity and shared strength can transform the experience of violence into a source of resilience and hope
