About the film
A mother doesn't understand the life that her daughter wants to live. A daughter wants to be free but finds herself trapped by family, religion and gender. The mother tries to enter her daughter's world, she doesn't know how to live with it. Should we try and break this eternal generational gap, or keep still, trapped inside a little can of sardines. Symbols and suffocation chase us.
