Nepali women perceived through a Canadian film: Inspirations for a change

Strong-willed and imaginative Anne aspires for freedom, adventures and changes in norms that undermine women, their potential, thoughts and existence. Anne empowers her friends to live their dreams, be women of their own and discover the world rather than what society grooms them to be — beautiful and well-behaved wives.

Her journey is joined by her new teacher who faces much criticism for her ability to teach. And, just because she is a woman, unnecessary questions are raised about her teaching capabilities. A red-haired Anne stands, raises voices and influences others to challenge the norms that are against women’s autonomy, participation, freedom and rights.
