The film is made in two different parts about Kurdish women. One of the paragraphs is about the nature and what is the representation of the image of women in the achievements of visual art from ancient times to recent times. And in the other part, it is considered as the field of women's representation policy in Kurdistan, it deals with the cultural and social status of Kurdish women in the historical background of Kurdistan from long ago to today. These topics are depicted through reconstructed videos, archival images and ancient artifacts, and through speeches by the expert-presenter as well as the voice of the narrator.
