Kusukela ekukhathazekeni mayelana nokukhula nokusuka kude nezingane, emsebenzini othandekayo nokungathandwa kakhulu, kusukela kugwayi nezicathulo zemfashini, izingcaphuno zesitoko kanye nobudlelwane ngobusuku obubodwa, kusukela ekuzameni ukuzithola futhi wamukele iminyaka yakho. Kunoma ikuphi, yilokhu okwenziwa "abesifazane bekhulu lesi-XNUMX" kudrama yegama elifanayo likaMichael Mills, abahle kakhulu futhi abahle ngokwesabekayo.
U-Dorothea (Annette Bening), 55, ukhulisa indodana yakhe yedwa, ulayitha ugwayi ngemva komunye, ukhetha ukubuka i-Casablanca kube ubudlelwano obuhlala njalo. Ingane Yokuwohloka Okukhulu Komnotho, yake yaphupha ngomsebenzi wokuba umshayeli wendiza, futhi yaba umakhi wokuqala wesifazane enkampanini enkulu. Akukubi futhi, kodwa akuyona impilo uDorothea ake wayicabanga. Uyazama ukungaduki ekucabangeni: “Ukukhathazeka ngokuthi ujabule yini kuyindlela yokuqala yokungena ekucindezelekeni.”
Unyaka ngu-1979, indawo yesehlakalo iSanta Barbara. Uqasha amagumbi endlini enkulu kakhulu kuye nendodana yakhe, wenza ubungane nezivakashi, ngezikhathi ezithile uletha amadoda endaweni yakhe, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke unendaba nendlela yokukhulisa indoda elungile endodaneni yakhe, u-Jamie. Eqaphela ukuthi akakwazi ukubhekana nesimo eyedwa (umfana uneminyaka engu-15, okusho ukuthi imidlalo eyingozi yasegcekeni kanye nesithakazelo emantombazaneni ku-ajenda), ubiza u-Abby (Greta Gerwig) noJulie (Elle Fanning) njengabalingani.
U-Abby uneminyaka engu-24, unezinwele ezibomvu kanye nomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho. Ubheka umhlaba ngekhamera yekhamera, adanse uma kukubi ngempela, bese eshelela indodana yakhe u-Dorothea izincwadi ze-radical feminist. UJulie oneminyaka engu-17 ubudala, indodakazi kadokotela wengqondo, umlutha wokuzilimaza futhi udinga usizo olungaphansi kukaJamie. Umfana uthandana naye, lokho akwenzi izinto zibe lula.
Lena inkhulumomphendvulwano engaphelelwa isikhathi mayelana nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba ngowesifazane. Umuntu kakhulu, uthembekile futhi ugcwele uthando
Bonke bangabesifazane bekhulu lamashumi amabili. Ulahlekile futhi unamandla, ubuthakathaka futhi unesibindi, owayazi isidingo futhi wafunda ukuvuka ngemva kokuwa. Ukuphela kweminyaka yawo-1970 kusegcekeni, okusho ukuthi inkathi ye-punk izophela maduze, ukucindezeleka nezimpi ezimbi zisemuva, phambili kune-HIV, ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke, inkinga ka-2000 kanye nezinguquko eziningi ezinzima. ukucabanga.
Ngaphambi kwawo wonke umuntu (okuhlanganisa no-Jamie) iminyaka yokuphila egcwele izinto ezitholakele, ukuzama namaphutha, isipiliyoni esibuhlungu nenjabulo. Kuhlala ngemuva kwezigcawu, kodwa kusobala ukuthi uJamie, uhlamvu lwakhe nesimo sakhe sengqondo emhlabeni sizololongwa ngabesifazane ababeseduze kwakhe esemncane. Ngayinye ithonya ngendlela yayo - izingxoxo, umculo, isibonelo sakhe.
Umqondisi uMike Mills akazenzi sengathi ubhala isithombe esihlangene sowesifazane wekhulunyaka elidlule. Isithombe sikaDorothea, owazalwa ngo-1924, siqhelelene kakhulu nogogo nokhokho bethu, abakhulela emaqinisweni ahlukene. Kepha nokho isithombe "sabesifazane bekhulu lesi-XNUMX" sikhona yonke indawo futhi siyaqondakala. Ngokuvamile, lena inkhulumomphendvulwano engaphelelwa isikhathi mayelana nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba ngowesifazane, umuntu siqu kakhulu, othembekile, ogcwele uthando.
