HOUSE WITH A VOICE (IWD) SCREENING + PARTY

HOUSE WITH A VOICE tells the story of six Burrneshas who, for different reasons, have decided to take on

the social role of men. They have done this to circumvent patriarchal structures, to avoid misogynistic attacks,

to support the family economically, to avoid compelled marriage and to be free. Our characters communicate

with us intimately as they talk about their lives and bring us closely into their personal journey. They speak

about freedom and oppression, about the promise of sacrificing their lives for the sake of their families’

survival. But also about the breaking of gender barriers and the power of the human mind to decide who we

want to be.

The film turns stereotypes and projections of gender discussions upside down. The Burrneshas expand our

awareness of human life and its universal conditions but in the end their story shows that the essences of life,

which are identified as female, are held as less valuable, even less worth living. And that this remains so,

worldwide.
