Dragon Women

Women in finance represent a minority - yet they are often called 'Dragons'. This documentary, shot in Europe and Asia, presents a series of intimate portraits of various senior women in the finance sector, revealing both the personas they've had to build for work and the parts of themselves they consciously leave at home. Thanks to her house husband, Alison has managed to have a family while going up the corporate finance ladder in London though that came with sacrificing time spent with her boys. In Paris, Laetitia supports young talented women in the industry and hosts feminist gatherings but oddly enough still cannot express her own desire for "power". Perfectionist Martina has had the flawless professional path she dreamed off in Germany but had to bury her desire for family along the way. In Singapore, Adeline controls both workplace and family with an iron fist while husband and kids express their weaknesses without fear. Junior Jennifer is a self-proclaimed workaholic living in Hong Kong but is starting to wonder who she is and what her future holds. Filmed at work and during moments of leisure, these strong and complex women tell us how they survive in one of the most competitive professions in the world.
