The fictional correspondence between Columbian Martina and Lebanese Nour demonstrates how medicines, laws, religion and cultural tradition determine the dominant discourse on gender and sexuality. The images from both countries subtly pull you into their world and their letters make the personal struggle of every woman palpable.
