She has left her brutal husband and now works as a common worker. Elena has left the community, earned her university degree, and distributed a successful novel, all of which have opened the doors to a life of learned speakers and lavishly decorated salons. Both women have pushed upon the walls of a jail that would have marked them living a life of pain, ignorance, and slavery. They are sailing on the great sea of possibilities that opened up during the 1970s. Yet they are still very much connected by a strong, unbreakable bond.”
