Five actresses and their director are working on a play representing the lives of five women that lived over World War I, Pavla Hočevar, Marica Nadlišek Bartol, Elody Oblath, Giuseppina Martinuzzi and Alice Schalek, scouting the territory looking for traces and evoking on stege the emotions and feelings expressed in their diaries, letters and writings. Archives, animations, acting and interviews tell the stories of those women who were living in Trieste, when the coming up of national tensions, prelude of World War I, forced them to choose and take a clear stance.
