After a Dantean journey, women from Nigeria arrive alone and ever younger in Italy, looking for a better life. Such horrors as human trafficking and sexual slavery are waiting for them, as we discover in this ensemble film, featuring harrowing stories told in a sensible way that spares us from the unbearable. These tales provoke a broader reflection on migration and otherness.

Is it normal for a family to find itself homeless on July 1st? Is it normal for immigrants to be evicted from their apartments? Camera in hand, the Collectif (...) Parenthèses went to meet tenants and landlords in Quebec and Europe to answer this vital question: shouldn't housing be a right for every citizen?
A musical film based on a song by _Les Folles Alliées_, illustrating the unacceptable insults directed at the female body and intellect: sexual harassment, sexist advertisements and music videos, pornography, domestic violence, and rape.
A short, deconstructed story about depression and the mental health of a woman who drinks.
Fragments of poems, readings, texts, excerpts from plays, songs, and reflections, pieced together like a patchwork quilt. What’s the purpose of medications, electroshock therapy, institutions?
