Despite their differences, all monotheistic religions agree on one single point: women are inferior people, with fewer rights.

A contempt that has disastrous consequences for the lives of women worldwide. After years of campaigning, forced to flee her country and having survived an Islamist terrorist attack, Inna Shevchenko of FEMEN meets Nadia Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot to reflect on their respective iconic anti-religious actions, share the pain of the consequences they have suffered and confess her many doubts. Not satisfied with the results of her own political activism, which have alienated many religious women, Inna sets out to find possible solutions and means of reconciliation.

Known internationally as an atheist and a critic of male religious fraternities, she meets atheists and apostates who oppose religion and denounce its patriarchal nature, but also women priests, rabbis, imams and religious women feminists who have power in their own religious spaces.
