“Simone de Beauvoir once said, ‘One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.’ This video tells the story of women whose elegant and unique existence has been buried under the weight of coarse traditions and unbearable societal limitations. It is the story of those whose passions, dreams, and emotions were cut short—aborted—in their twenties, thirties, forties, and beyond. It is a tribute to the quiet endurance of countless women, and a reflection on the loss of their individuality, sacrifices, and untold potential.”
