Always a pleasure to dive into a culture that is so different than one's own. The story is set in a traditional culture that is harsh towards women, not leaving them any choices as to what kind of life they should lead. This can only lead to tragedy and trauma, deceit and dishonesty. Cause if no avenues are left to one to choose from, than ingenuity kicks in or else mental schism.

La Svergognata è incentrato sul percorso individuale di Afaf, una donna che rifiuta la subalternità e lotta per la propria felicità – parla del suo percorso di crescita dall’infanzia all’età adulta (anche se non in modo lineare) in modo così brillante che parla non solo di una realtà circoscritta (la donna in Palestina) ma di una realtà più generale (me stessa, le donne attorno a me, la donna nel mondo)
