The Braid

India. Smita belongs to the caste of the untouchables; her life is unbearable, just as her mother’s and grandmother’s lives were unbearable. And the same fate is prepared for Smita’s daughter—humiliating, hellish labor until the end of her days.

Sicily. Julia works in her family workshop. When an accident happens to her father, she has to take control into her own hands—and at that moment she discovers that the business is practically ruined.

Canada. Sarah is a brilliant lawyer and mother of three, who skillfully balances work and her personal life. She is already close to the top of her career when she hears a terrifying diagnosis from doctors.

These three women, strangers to each other, were brought together by strength, courage, and the determination to challenge their fate. And their lives are intertwined and connected by an invisible thread—a woman’s braid.
