The Iranian female director Negin Ahmadi starts a personal journey into the combat zone of north Syria to question what it means to be a woman. Alone with her camera, she decides to look for an answer to her questions by encountering the women who embody the myth of female strength and freedom: Kurdish female fighters. Following the life of these women, Ahmadi questions the image that she has of herself and of the cost of equality and freedom in this difficult region.
