Our heroine stopped praying long ago. She was brought from her native Turkey to Germany to marry one of her cousins, when she was thirteen. This is how her childhood ended – she became the property of a husband, who tortures and degrades her. She finally decides to flee, but must continuously be in hiding. Condemned by both families, she has no chance at a normal life, neither as a wife nor a divorcee. The film is not a typical intervention reportage, but a poetic collage comprising of documentary material, family photographs and children’s drawings. This individual life story reflects the stories of many other girls and women subjected to a patriarchal law, still enforced by tacit consent in multicultural societies of Western Europe.
