An inner perspective into the phenomena of sexual abuse in Palestinian society.
The creator of a puppet show, "Duma" (dolls in Arabic), which deals with sexual abuse in childhood, decides to document Arab women who dare to reveal the sexual abuse they endured in their close circle of family and friends. Together they aim to break the systems of silence which were imposed by family and society.

Quotes
The film is beautifully shot, – the women are shot from the back, looking out a window, one is looking out at the sea, or slightly distorted in a window or mirror. This element of anonymity in the film makes it so authentic and emphasizes the fact that these four women are a voice for all those who have suffered similar experiences in their youth.
