Ira, a young woman, guides us through the events that changed the lives of thousands of women like her. Through her eyes, we see the violence that has spread all over Belarus, as Alexander Lukashenko clings to power after disputed and controversial election results. To impersonate this never-ending nightmare, Ira dresses as Mara, a female spirit in Slavic culture who comes to people in their sleep to bring them dreams or nightmares.
