Description

Kazakh-Russian Play

"Why do people who hate women work in maternity wards? Why do women hate other women?"

The COVID-19 pandemic. Strict lockdown. A maternity ward isolated from the outside world. Behind closed doors lie strangers, a shared fear, and secrets known to no one.

Women with vastly different destinies cross paths in the ward. One eagerly awaits motherhood, while another seeks to escape it. One hides the truth, while another is ready to lose everything for the sake of that very truth.

As the lockdown intensifies, people’s true faces begin to emerge even while their masks remain on. Trust is put to the test. Secrets come to light. And a woman can become either the greatest threat or the last hope for another woman.
