Four women meet in a Helsinki apartment to discuss the meanings they attach to the term political. Through their monologues and the intellectual discussion based on Hannah Arendt’s thinking, the women define the image of a political individual and a political woman: What does political mean? What should womanly political be? Is it possible to attain revolutionism that transcends generations and redefine political?
