Dorite, the matriarch; her daughter Mulu; Tigu, Dorite’s granddaughter; and Mita, Mulu’s baby, find solace under one roof. From dawn till dusk, they labor tirelessly - working the land, cooking food, and tending to livestock. While shared laughter, tender care, and freshly brewed coffee knit them closer, the weight of their daily burdens strains their unity. As external pressures encroach upon Dorite's household, their familial harmony faces greater threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003eDivided into four poignant chapters, Amakki delves into the joys, mundanities, and tribulations unique to each stage of womanhood.

Through the feminine gaze, she offers nuanced and empathizing perspectives on womanhood and the complex human experience. Her work is informed by her unique background in psychiatric research at King's College London. She first practiced filmmaking at production house 4th Row Films in New York City.
