What is a woman's courage? What is the
difference between courage as defined by men
and by women? Is a woman who shows courage
rewarded, or does she pay a heavy price? Maybe
the refusal to be brave is in itself courageous?
"Heroine" puts a spotlight on stories told by female
filmmakers focused on, and through the eyes of,
female protagonists. The film brings
to the screen fiction stories which seek to break
through the discourse and dialectic of courage
and cowardice to discover an additional range of concepts that are not as definitive.
