Girls of the Rain concludes the trilogy on the contribution of women to political struggles in the twentieth century. The film is about women imprisoned and tortured during the Colonels’ dictatorship of 1967-1974. At that time, they were in their twenties. Fifty women testify in the film. They all share the ethos of the women who took part in the National Resistance, and pursue the establishment of human dignity just as persistently. The Girls of the Rain consider themselves successors of those women. One of them said: "…we are their successors, just like today's young people are our successors". Remarkably, these are the words of a woman deprived by her torturers of the ability to have children. |
