Three beautifully observed and shot stories of the basic problems facing many women within Eastern societies. The first tale sees nine year old Hava having to put away her childhood and accept her role as a woman. In the second story Ahoo is a free spirited woman with a love for cycling whom finds herself under increasing pressure from husband and family to give up the 'unbecoming' hobby. Third is an old lady who becomes obsessed with material goods, determined that her last abode in this world will be as close to perfection as is possible. The Day I Became A Woman is a stunningly eloquent film, full of both pathos and humour.
