The Day I Became a Woman (2000)

Sobre o filme

Three generations of women - and all are face to face with sin. The first is Hava, a girl of nine. On her birthday, her mother forbids her from leaving the house, for she is becoming a woman. If she leaves the house, she will be sinning. The girl insists and she cries. The grandmother remembers Hava was born at midday and allows her a final escapade, just to say good-by to her friends. A girl lives for her bicycle. She is taking part in a women?s race, but is, all of the time, beset upon by her family and relatives who do not accept the fact she is a sportswoman. If she persists in practicing sport, regarded by them as sinful behavior, she will be expelled from home. At an airport, a woman in a wheel chair ventures all, buying up everything she could never have in life: a refrigerator, a television set, etc. She asks for it all to be delivered at a beach, which is to be her ideal home and her last abode.
