Woman curator, art critic, who organizes a scandalous exhibition "Feminalle" dedicated to the problems of inequality and violence against women in Kyrgyzstan, causing wide public outcry and scandal, which is attacked by national patriots who think that the exhibition dishonors the Kyrgyz people.
And woman, whose young daughter commits suicide after her is drugged and raped and later leaked her photo and video on the Internet. The rapist is the son of a powerful politician, and she is trying in vain to get a fair investigation...
