Sultana's Dream


Inés, a Spanish artist, lives in India and stumbles upon SULTANA’S DREAM, a science fiction story written by Rokeya Hossain in 1905. It describes ‘Ladyland’, a utopia in which women rule the country while men live in seclusion and are responsible for household chores. Fascinated by the story, Inés embarks on a journey across the country to search for the one place where women can live in peace.
