What if all women refused to cooperate and went on a care strike? A great feminist social novel about the spirit of contradiction and solidarity. Elin is in her early twenties and lives with her mother in a wellness hotel. During the lockdown, she became an influencer. Since then, she has been confronted with misogynistic online hatred.
Nuri comes from a precarious background and has no formal schooling. He now tries to keep his head above water as a bicycle courier, bed pusher and food delivery man. Late capitalism has him firmly in its grip. Ruth is in her late fifties. After the death of her disabled son, she began working as a nurse in the hospital again. Every day she pushes herself beyond her boundaries, her sense of duty seems inexhaustible.
One Sunday, all three of them find themselves in an unexpected situation: women are lying in front of the hospital where Ruth and Nuri work. Motionless, in silent protest. It is the beginning of a revolt in which women no longer do what they have always done. Suddenly everything on which our system is based upon is called into question. Will Elin, Nuri and Ruth seize the opportunity for change?
