- Summary:
- This is a part of the world where families have traditionally been polygamous. All the women in this fishing village are married and many of them have co-wives. Yet they form themselves into a fishing cooperative, the Dunga women's group. A women only enterprise designed to earn them cash independently of their husbands. This film is about different kinds of families about their relationship between husbands and wives and the wider family groups that form around them.
