Nora is a young housewife and mother who lives with her husband, two sons and her disgruntled father-in-law in a quiet village in Appenzell. Here there is little sign of the social upheavals of the 1968 movement. The village and family order is shaken, however, when Nora begins to campaign for women’s right to vote, which the men are supposed to vote on. The other women are also infected by her political ambitions and together they start a protest.
