A group of delightful teenage girls who have all fled to Germany find their own creative ways to overcome hidden discrimination. The girls have one thing in common: they have all fled their homelands in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Kurdistan and Romania, seeking peace in a quiet German provincial town. But perhaps they have more in common than the painful experience of having fled and having to find themselves in a new and foreign culture. Through encounters with inspiring female artists, the girls learn to share their stories and dreams with each other, and to give precious glimpses of what is hidden deep inside them.
