"Woman: Shared Sensibilities, A Collective Voice for Equality"
VANILLA
VAINILLA
In late 1980s Mexico, eight-year-old Roberta watches her family of seven women fight to save their home from mounting debt, a struggle that reshapes how she sees herself and those around her.
1980ರ ದಶಕದ ಅಂತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ, ಮೆಕ್ಸಿಕೋದಲ್ಲಿ, ತಮ್ಮ ಮನೆ ಉಳಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಸಾಲದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಹೋರಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಏಳು ಮಹಿಳೆಯರ ಕುಟುಂಬವನ್ನು ಎಂಟು ವರ್ಷದ ರೊಬೆರ್ಟಾ ನೋಡುತ್ತಾ ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಈ ಹೋರಾಟವು ಅವಳು ತನ್ನನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಸುತ್ತಲಿನವರನ್ನೂ ನೋಡುವ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಕೋನವನ್ನೇ ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಬದಲಾಯಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
