Drama

A rowdy woman is so forceful that she outdoes her husband in a loud cry against speculators who refuse poor people entrance to a block of new apartments, built after WW2. Without noticing it, she starts a people's movement, and leads a march to the capital. She returns to her village a winner, an honourable MP. Yet, she is still the same simple, fiery woman, able to get in a hair-pulling brawl with the local barmaid for the affection of her man.

VIBE

A spirited woman's fight for justice ignites a community. It's a passionate, sometimes rowdy, tale of empowerment and enduring love, balancing social commentary with down-to-earth humor.
