The Journey

Three accomplished women step away from their demanding lives, leaving behind career stress, family pressures, and emotional burdens to embrace the transformative experience of Carnival. They go for fun, but what they gain feels almost supernatural—a deep sense of release, power, and renewal. As they prepare, every bead and feather becomes part of their metamorphosis—an identity that feels both new and deeply familiar. But this journey is more than revelry; it is a sacred homecoming. Dancing on ancestral ground, they honor the resilience of those who came before them, merging past and present in a powerful act of liberation. Through stunning b-roll of Carnival costumes, vérité footage, and intimate OTFs, their stories unfold alongside insights from professors, cultural critics, and appearances by some of the world’s most famous Soca artists. In this space, joy, power, and sensuality belong to them alone. For these women, Carnival isn’t an escape—it’s a return to who they truly are.
