A WOMAN

A young, modern mother struggles to find her place in Baku, Azerbaijan, a culture simultaneously Muslim and secular, progressive as it is traditional, and like her at a crossroads of seeming contradictions. Navigating the trappings of both conventional and modern female roles, she straddles the space between choice and responsibility where in the course of one day she can be a mother, a daughter, a wife, and still be herself.

This film wholly steps inside a woman’s world. The concept is simple but the world is complex. Just like a woman. Tahmina Rafaella wrote, directed, produced and starred in it. Her voice is ever-present and we like what she’s saying.
