Emotionally charged story about three women standing against male dominated church preventing them from following their calling to serve God and their communities. Protestan female ministers who wish to serve God, the Church and people as pastors in today’s Latvia can only do that under the wing of foreign churches. Latvia is the only country in the world whose official Lutheran church has banned ordination of women after successfully practicing it for two decades. While some of the women ministers, refusing to accept this, leave the country to build lives as fully-fledged pastors elsewhere in the world, others carry on serving as second-rate assistants or other church workers. However, today there are female theologians who are ready to fight for a future in more equal society thus ending the discrimination based on ‘other sex’ or ‘wrong’ gender. The road towards changes leads through frustrations, confidence and doubts, obedience and rebellion.

라트비아 출신의 작가이자 감독의 명상적인 다큐멘터리 에세이. 그의 작품은 발트해 지역 뉴 웨이브 운동의 다양한 작업들과 양식적으로 맞닿아 있다. 영화는 역사기록 연구의 한계를 훌륭히 넘어서 선명하게 기억되지 못한 영화인들에 대한 초상을 그린다.
