| Summary: | Duration: 01:25:00
A powerful documentary about a Tehran shelter for girls and young women who have fled their homes due to domestic discord. While the women who operate the home provide support for girls from abusive families, they also offer counseling and try to find out the truth about the situations that have brought the women to the shelter. The sisterly feelings of the girls towards each other, their spiritual strength, their courage to rebel, and their wit are shown with a great degree of compassion and empathy. Yet the primary goal of the counselors is to work towards family reunification. The girls who have exaggerated the severity of their problems are sent home – often with mixed feelings of relief and despair.
