In the north of Azerbaijan, at a lakeside sanctuary: three trees are adorned with fabrics woven by the women residing in the neighbouring village, who would come to ward off their sorrows by making nature their ally. With poignant gentleness, the film brings back to life this mirror-like place where women, in the past, were released, at least spiritually from their harsh condition.
