Maya's story is directly inspired by true stories of women who, in rural Nepal, are forced into exile because their menstrual blood is considered impure. During their exile, they are often assaulted, raped, sometimes killed... This original, powerful and societal experience is rooted in this reality and promotes a better understanding of this taboo subject.
