In einer Gesellschaft, die von geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt geprägt ist, erkämpfen sich die neun-jahrige Arushi und Milena, einundzwanzig, mit Kalari, der ältesten Kampfsportart der Welt, ihren Platz zurück. Der Film folgt ihrem Kampf um Selbstermächtigung und die Freiheit, die Frauen zu sein, die sie sein wollen.
In una società segnata dalla violenza di genere, Arushi, nove anni, e Milena, ventuno, rivendicano lo spazio attraverso il Kalari, l’arte marziale più antica del mondo. Il film segue la loro lotta per l'empowerment e la libertà di essere le donne che hanno scelto di essere.
