How can you please a men without losing yourself? How do you build a stable relationship that lasts longer than a trial on a magazine? In a village in Zambia, the documentary filmmaker Kim Brand searches for the life lessons women share during the initiation rites of girls to adulthood. She hopes to find answers to the questions she had for years. What do women in an African village have to offer to an unconventional, but insecure Western woman?
