The film follows the lives of five women named “Sanaz,” “Saedeh,” “Tala,” “Ladan,” and “Beheshteh,” who all have their own stories to tell but have one thing in common: they all reside in a women’s shelter in Tehran’s southwestern section. Now, however, everyone has the same goal: to improve their lives, if only a little.
