No, there is nothing normal about menstruation! It spoils dough and sausages, it is never shown on tv and you – do you talk about it? Three directors from three continents explore female normality. They search for the unfamiliar in their own culture and discover the familiar in the others.The interviews with young and old, with straight and lesbian women, with Germans, Cameroonians and New Zealanders – Maori woman included, reveal amazing parallels and amusing details regarding menstruation.
