Synopsis

Five stories of five heroines by five women directors: The Officer, The Babysitter, The Nurse, The Stripper and The Director. Their professions do not serve as an ornament, they are at the heart of this film, inseparable from life and from the women themselves. A unique and timely mosaic of women and their choices in Israel in the 21st century.
