Nora, a lively middle school student, receives an unusual assignment from her teacher, Mrs. Antonelli: to research a woman who contributed to changing society, to be handed in on March 8th. Neither she nor her classmates fully understand the purpose of the assignment, until Nora talks about it with her beloved grandmother Margherita, who becomes the true guide on their journey, along with Dunja, Salima’s mother.

This marks the beginning of a journey into feminism, told by her grandmother as a great story made of achievements, injustices, battles, and discoveries. From the French Revolution to the Iranian Women, Life, Freedom movement and pop culture, Nora and her friends discover how women have fought for the right to education, work and freedom, in Europe and across the world.

Amidst chats, homework, group texts, and a bit of rivalry, the group of friends discovers that the history of women's rights is not an "ancient" topic, but something that speaks directly to them and to the present day.

The assignment thus becomes an opportunity to understand the meaning behind certain anniversaries and to discover that feminism is, first and foremost, a history of movements and groups of people who changed the world… and did so for them, too.
