'Woman's Enemy' features the story of those who go from a misogynist to feminist.

"There is nothing harder in life than being left alone. You see your loved ones and you love them, but they all deny you. They closed doors on you and you are alone. Loneliness is a swamp,” a short synopsis for 'Axing' reads.

‘Auntie Frog’ aims to introduce family concepts and close-knitted relations of grandmothers and their grandchildren as well as pathways to collective collaboration in dealing with issues.
