Mirella, Sylvia and Johanna have fled from their violent partners. A stay of several months in a women’s house enabled the filmmakers to sketch a unique and intimate picture of the daily life of the three women. Although they try to build a new life and although they already dream of a new love to come, the young women cannot just let go of the man they ran from. In spite of the fights and the abuse they had to endure, they find it difficult to break up completely with their exes. The quarrels and the rows are carried on by telephone, quarrels about the past, debts and the children. The film observes the bickering and squabbling as well as the mutual support the women give each other while talking about their doubts, their uncertainties and their dreams for the future.
