In early 2013, Syrians became the fourth largest refugee population in the world. Bereft of social support networks, women, in particular, become vulnerable to discrimination, violence, and abuse. This documentary chronicles the lives of five women refugees from different socio-educational backgrounds. In Lebanon, they struggle against life's daily brutality and try to rebuild lives shattered by war. They provide us with a glimpse into their daily hardships as well as their strength, resilience and ability to survive.
