The Braid

"Three women. Three countries. An unforgettable journey". 'The Braid' is a French movie by Laetitia Colombani that tells the story of three women in parallel. A story about the woman, life, the daily worries, the social barriers and humanity.

Smita is an untouchable woman from the India who dreams of giving her daughter a good education. She will do whatever's on her hand and whatever's necessary to make that happen. Even leaving everything she knows behind to give her daughter a better future.

In Sicily, Giulia works is her dad's wig workshop, the last one in Palermo. This business was created by his father years ago, but he has a terrible accident and Giulia discovers her family's support is in danger.

The movie also introduces us to Sarah, in Canada. Sarah is a woman who got divorced twice and she's the mother of three children. She's also a successful lawyer whose identity is completely based on her work.

Sarah is waiting for her life's raise when she discovers she has breast cancer. 'The Braid' is a reminder of what connect us all, even through frontiers, cultures or languages. Smita, Giulia and Sarah are from different continents and they've never met, but they're united by something intimate and unique, which also unites all women around the world who struggle with life itself.
