Sultana's Dream

Young Inés aspires to become a director of animated films, but she is unable to find neither an inspiring story nor deep personal motivations. One day, she discovers ​“Sultana’s Dream” by the Bengali writer Rokeya Hossein (Pairabond, Bangladesh 1880 — Kolkata 1932). Published in Madras in 1905, the book describes Ladyland: a utopian country where women are scientists and govern the state while men live in segregation, ignorant and afraid. Seduced by the story, Inés gifts herself a trip to India behind the traces of Rokeya. It is an initiatory adventure as a young woman and future author.
