"ConfidentiElles" is a resolutely feminist work. Its objective is to give women a voice, a right that Malagasy society does not always allow. Traditionally, the woman is described as "fanaka malemy" (fragile furniture) or "ravaky ny tokantrano" (home decoration), reduced to the rank of an object, inert, mute. And if we deign to compare her to a living being, it is to call her "akohovavy" (hen), a way of also flouting her right to speak because a hen does not sing ("Aza manao akohovavy maneno").
“ConfidentiElles” is thus a platform for expression for those whose voice has been taken away for so long. In front of the camera, six women from different backgrounds open up without taboo on various intimate subjects, which include: prejudices to which they are subjected because of being thin or having an accent from the bush, the suffering caused by illnesses such as bipolar disorder or the absence of pregnancy resulting from inadequate sex education.
