Who is Petra? A successful designer? An emancipated woman? Independent? Free? Who is Marlene? Just an intern? A silent employee? The true creator of the collections that made Petra an unavoidable name? What does society expect from a woman? What does society expect from an independent woman? Can emancipation become a weapon? What if the power gained reproduces the system that created it? Where is the line between being a victim and an oppressor? What really happens in the relationship between Petra and Marlene? A promise? Or a territory of possession? Is teaching elevating, or dominating? Is loving caring, or appropriating? At what moment does care turn into control? Can the bitter tears belong to… whom?
