Inés is a 30-year-old animator who has just broken up with her partner. In a bookstore, she accidentally discovers Sultana's Dream, a 1905 Bengali satirical novel by feminist writer Rokeya Hosen, which describes an imaginary country where women rule. Influenced by her reading, Inés sets out to make her own film. The filming is intertwined with the story of Rokeya Hosen's life. The final level of the magical-realist film consists of the animated illustrations from the book. In addition to past and present, fiction and reality, various animation techniques meet in this filmic reverie. Inspired by watercolour, shadow theatre or the traditional henna decorating technique, they combine to create a unique visual experience.
