Synopsis:
As young political prisoners, these women found ways to communicate with each other through secret messages, rhythmic knocks, and whispered words despite brutal conditions in a Yugoslav woman prison. Today, forty years later, Sadije and Ganimete reunite again in a park in Prishtina, Kosovo, in the same spirit of solidarity. They recall the day their Afërdita was violently taken away for singing about freedom.
