.
Style: Documentary
Director: Cecilia Neant-Falk, Nina Bergstrom
Five women between the ages of 60 and 75 talk about their lives from the 1930's and onwards with a mixture of humor and emotion, telling tales of budding love and erotic encounters, and also of self-hatred and secrecy. All of the women were forced to question conventions and risk losing friends and colleagues in their courageous fight for the right to choose their own way of living.
