ITALIANO
Un numero infinito di donne vive all’ombra di un uomo. Lo seguono ad ogni passo. Un giorno, una ragazzina, spontaneamente,tenta di attraversare la linea d’ombra. Viene maledetta da tutti, fino al giorno in cui diventa una donna adulta e cerca ditornare in armonia con loro. Ma una piccola domanda continua a seguirla.
