A documentary series about heroines of the II World War. Stories told from the perspective of the characters are full of emotions and tension, they show courage, sacrifice, willpower but also recklessness or pragmatism. Characters of the series are not flawless monuments but regular women with their own problems, who happened to play an important role in the history. The visual style of the project is animadoc. It comprises archival materials, interviews with experts, and sequences of fictionalised scenes: shots stylised as comic frames, where an actor is connected with scenography hand-drawn by comics illustrators.
The story revolves around journalist Mai El-Gebali, who decides to write a book about a serial killer sentenced to death. With the help of one of her lovers, who has close ties to the security services, she succeeds in securing weekly meetings with the serial killer Mahmoud Helmy, who exposes the secrets of this nightmarish world.
