    Synopsis

    This film originated from a group of mathematicians, following informal conversations about their experiences during the Covid pandemic. We listen to the 87 women mathematicians from 36 countries speaking 25 languages as we travel around the globe by degrees longitude. The film gives an account of how the pandemic transformed their lives on a personal and professional level at the time of school closures during the pandemic. As the pandemic has a disproportionate impact on women, this film is a testament to their struggles and resilience, trying to be present for their families and 'online-present' for their students.
