“Gender violence knows no borders or social classes. This film brings together nine Basque women, nine survivors of very different profiles: an architect, a university professor, a cleaning employee, a secretary, a Spanish teacher, a historian, a caregiver for the elderly, a student and a woman who performs volunteer work. All of them are united by a common past: they have suffered violence from men, they have spent some very complicated years, but finally they have overcome it and today they struggle to make this global problem visible “.
