In a world where people hate you without exception and kill you mercilessly, it's no wonder this cockroach is suicidal. A cockroach, frustrated with being the target of hate, sets out to kill himself, but on this particular day he finds himself in a world of kindness that throws off his plans.
No Mercy
From the starting point of her admiration for the pioneering Ukrainian filmmaker Kira Muratova (1934-2018), the director poses a question: is cinema made by women really tougher, more violent? Seeking answers, she talks to great contemporary filmmakers like Catherine Breillat, Virginie Despentes, Alice Diop, Céline Sciamma, Ana Lily Amirpour, and Monika Treut, among others. It becomes obvious that the cinema screen is a space for the projection of real social problems and power relations.
