About the show

One man’s decision determines the fate of the family. Where they’ll live, who they’ll interact with, what they’ll believe… The patriarchal idea that the father is the head of the home, while the system below him, never equal in standing nor given equal respect, suffers on behalf of his decisions. What happens when decisions go too far and we neglect the individual identities of our children? Through Suraya’s life we explore the inherited burden and what it means to carry it. One woman. Four characters. A journey into family dynamics and how they affect us…
