A boatwoman who makes a living with carrying passengers encounters a
prostitute who travels sometimes with her. She asks the boatwoman to
take her somewhere around the marsh. The prostitute asks her to have
an eye on her in case she gets delayed. After a few minutes, she hears
the sound of something breaking and enters the conflict between the
prostitute and her customer to support her. This happening leads to
closeness between these two women. When the boatwoman comes back home
and sees her husband carousing with his friend, she decides to abandon
the home forever.

This work shows the photos of four generations of women: The director
herself, and her grandmother, mother, and daughter.
Contained in one household's album were the memories of women from
many generations - women who have passed, women who were newly born,
women who became adults, and women who grew to become old. The times
they lived were different, yet they were all someone's daughter and
someone's mother.
When we take and connect these moments that they share, the concept of
time unravels, and takes on a new shape. These stories do not belong
to anyone, yet they were all mine at the same time.
