Five heroines from five different, yet similar, worlds face social and systematic oppression and injustice. We follow their journeys as they struggle for hope and a better life.

1. Diana, a young farmer who comes from a conservative family, lives in the rural villages of the country. During her day-off, she and her two sisters sit on the rooftop, preparing themselves for the wedding of one of the neighbors. Weddings are an essential occasion for the women in the village; they use it to celebrate what's left of their femininity, which is lost mainly due to their hard work on the farms. As for Diana, it's a great chance to meet her secret boyfriend. After she meets with him on the appointed time and place, where they would have their privacy, her mother discovers her relationship with the young man, which leads to her whole family finding out as well. On the third day, at dawn, all of the family women ride the truck to go to work on the farm as usual. As Diana's father requested, her brother, who accompanies them, takes all the unmarried women with him. He wants them to see it. None of the girls on the truck are talking; no birds are singing; it is cold. It is Diana's last day.

2. Crossroad Happiness: Latifa, who is in her 30's, is working at the Birth and Civil Status Authorities. This film tells the story of her longing for children of her own and her troubled married life. Latifa regularly gets into physical and emotional clashes with her husband. Suspecting infertility on her husband's side and his refusal to get tested leads her to re-think her choices; she decides to disregard the abuse. She begins exploring her options, which include the highly priced artificial fertilization methods. She turns to her family and friends for financial support but comes up short, yet she stays motivated and gets creative with her means to reach her goal.

3. Shakwa: Hoda, a veiled woman, enters a police station in Beirut to submit a claim of rape. After being questioned thoroughly, she admits to the police officers that it is her husband who is abusing her. The officer at the station is surprised and somehow amused to hear this and quickly dismisses her request since it is not against the law. Nevertheless, Hoda insists and claims that he has also been physically violent, which grasps the officers' interest since the case turned into domestic violence, which is punishable by law. The officers ask her to provide them with proof of violence, get a report from a legal doctor, which costs 200 USD, so she can submit a proper claim. Since she doesn't have that kind of money, she decides to leave the station. The moment she decided to go, the officers asks her to show them her ID card for a standard background check. She provides them with what they had requested, not knowing that they will find old unpaid parking tickets in her name that has accumulated to become 200,000 LBP with the penalties. She denies having a car up until they clear the model, which turned out to be a car her husband brought supposedly for her, but then he never let her drive it and then sold it back. She begs them to let her go since she doesn't have the money, and is too scared to call her husband, but they persist in saying to her that she cannot leave before paying the penalties. Every option she has will lead to an even more problematic domestic environment.
