Inés, a young Spanish artist, embarked on a journey of discovery in India. She came across the feminist-utopian science fiction story "Sultana's Dream" in a small bookshop. The story is about the terrible revenge on men and describes the fantasy realm of Ladyland – a land where women are self-determined and live in peace. They run all government affairs and all forms of education are open to them. And the men? Their place in Ladyland is where they belong: locked up at home.
Fascinated by the literary "painting" of this place and its inventor, Inés sets out in the footsteps of the writer and teacher Hossain, who championed education and equal rights for Indian girls and women as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The trip takes the Spaniard across contemporary India. Her companions are the dreams of Ladyland – and the utterly different realities of the lives of the women she meets on her journey.
