My grandmother gives the impression that she doesn’t think she has the same value as her husband, my grandfather. Does the generational gap justify sexist and macho remarks? Do family traditions lead to more of the same? My grandfather comes from Norway, a developed country in social and feminist terms, and strongly defends his country for this against Switzerland. This work tackles both personal and social issues (the persistence of sexism, the status of woman…), issues that are sometimes difficult for me to face. Can we really one day achieve equality and see patriarchal and capitalist systems finally evolve?
