Pretty much an all-female cast, who mainly discuss how they are going to leave their colony. If I recall correctly, it actually doesn't pass the Reverse Bechdel Test.

a disagreed with the rating and said:
This is a tricky one since the women are only leaving because of abuse by the men, and a large volume of the dialog concerns that abuse as well as other aspects of the way they're treated by men in the colony without the abusers really being present as full characters. Most lines that might seem unrelated implicitly or subtextually refer back to this topic. I think it deserves closer consideration than "it's about women talking so it passes"
