Summary:My mother was killed by the Angel in our house. I know many other women who were killed in thesame way. Either to kill the Angel or be killed by her ... It is a matter of life and death for us, forthe women of Turkey. In this video-essay, I introduce you to some of us: Şehnaz, Elmas, Mina, andseveral others who dare to choose life. They are the fictional female characters of the new wavefilms produced by the new generation of female directors from Turkey. I invite you to listen to theirstories in which they tell the secrets of their houses. Their abiding by not the Angel but themselvesmight be a strategy to stay alive, even a method of radical existence.
