What Is Ladies First About? (No Spoilers)

The plot of Ladies First (2018) without spoilers: what it is about, who it follows and where it takes place, told without the twists or the ending. Enough to decide whether it is your next watch, not enough to ruin it.

I notice there's a significant discrepancy in the provided input. The Description describes a documentary about Deepika Kumari, an archer from India rising from poverty to become a world champion. However, the Full Plot Summary describes a completely different film — a narrative feature about Damien Sachs, an advertising executive who experiences a world where gender roles are reversed.

These appear to be two entirely different movies. The documentary "Ladies First" (2016) is indeed about archer Deepika Kumari, while the plot summary provided seems to be for a different film altogether (possibly "The Last Gender" or a similar gender-role-reversal story).

Could you clarify which film you'd like me to summarize? I want to make sure I'm working with the correct source material before proceeding.
