En una aldea remota, cuando una mujer enfermaba, no se le daba una medicina: se le daba una cuchara tallada por otras mujeres de la tribu y se le decía: “Hoy no cocinas tú. Hoy te alimentamos nosotras”. Pero un día la cuchara se perdió y, sin ella, las mujeres empezaron a dejar sus necesidades al último, a compararse, a competir, a hacerlo todo sin ayuda, a hablar a través de una pantalla. Nunca se habían sentido tan cansadas, insuficientes y solas.
