Write a short summary of what happens in the film

A mixed group of men and women were invited to a warehouse and were asked to stand on a line. They were then asked routine questions about growing up. All they had to do was step forward when their answer was “yes”, and step back when it was “no”. At first, both men and women were moving forward together. But when the same group of people were questioned about their financial literacy; it didn’t take long for the invisible divide in the room to become visible. The group who was standing together, now looked at each other from other ends of the room - the men ahead, and the women behind.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Till date, it is primarily believed and followed that men are the ones who should be in control of finances, as they handle these matters better.
