In their daily life, these women share tasks, converge in the same problems and agree on their different struggles for survival. All of them overcome the obstacles by preserving their respective identities and beliefs, and by taking refuge in the strength of the communities to which they belong. A deep reflection made through the double meaning of the word "Captivated" regarding gender inequality, the role of women in different cultures, the amazing interaction developed between women who live together, and the paradox of isolation and freedom.
