 After witnessing a wedding and being taken by the image of the bride, Zana comes to learn of the difficulties and discrimination that women around her have to face day to day. At home, Zana s mother is expected to prepare a large family dinner, despite chronic pain, because she has to maintain her position as the "bride of the house". As Zana s comprehension of injustice towards women grows, so does her anger and her desire to "fix" things. Zana s opportunity arises when her schoolteacher agrees to let Zana publish an article in the school magazine. Zana, however, is too consumed by her anger and does not understand that anger alone will not solve the problem. To truly help, she needs to find a positive approach to changing things. From her neighbor and her mother she gradually learns that only by understanding and addressing each situation s cause is it possible to offer a meaningful solution. At home Zana s mother suggests a solution to the dinner problem: Zana s father needs to realize that women s work is difficult and that it is not beneath a man s dignity to help.
