This heart-wrenching documentary offers unprecedented access into the lives of lower-class Iranian women dealing with sexual abuse, drug addiction, and broken families. These women on the fringe of Iranian society find refuge at a rehabilitation center devoted to getting troubled young women back on their feet. Shot over a year in cinema verité style, this extraordinary film overturns stereotypes about the experiences of women in Iranian society by allowing many perspectives and voices to be heard.
