The documentary by Mari Soppela focuses on glass ceilings, a metaphor for the invisible borders between men and women in work life.

Glass ceilings are long trials about equal pay, having to continually prove one’s skills, and 85-cent euros. The topic cannot be handled without intersectional crossings: what are invisible glass ceilings for some, are solid concrete for others.
