In Kurdistan, as in many battle zones which have been ongoing for years, women are making their presence increasingly felt. It is almost as if, in order to stop the murderous madness of man, they now must be on the front line as soldiers. In 1996 a group of women joining up with the guerillas decide to form their own army. The film retraces the life of a unit in the guerilla army, made up of six women soldiers. | Briand, Erwann Erwann Briand (born 1971, France)
Relocating to Poland he studied at the Lodz School of Cinema (PWSFTviT), specializing in film directing. From his encounters with such film directors as Wojciech Has and Krzysztof Kieslowski, he discovered an approach unique to him. Upon his return to France in 1996, he has worked in film directing and script writing.
