Description: Brightly colored wash hanging out to dry in rural and urban environments is the subject of this poetic documentary exploring the roles of women and their often inescapable bondage to domestic duties. Voice-over comments by women of varying ages and ethnic groups reveal their feelings concerning the ritualistic chores of the laundry and their intrinsic place in the folkloric tradition of female life.
