Logline: In a world that ignores her existence, Alina relies on her “magic” bag to overcome her challenges. However, he discovers that relying solely on his creation is not enough.
Alina is a woman in her thirties who has lived her entire life alone, without anyone's help. Her mother always had difficulty adapting to the outside world, and from a young age, Alina decided that her weakness was something she would not tolerate for herself. While some hid indoors away from trouble, others found jobs “made for women”, Alina wanted to do what many others could not: she decided that any job a man could do, she could do even better. And so, despite her struggles, Alina found her way in a world dominated by men who ignore her struggles and tolerate the idea of her existence. This way of living was not for the weak, as Alina thought, because those who did not seek to live like her, free from the role of “small and fragile” did not even deserve her attention. Because of this, she gradually withdrew from others, while trying to fit into a world that continued to reject her.
