The content of this film is based on testimonies from girls living in Lebanon, narrating their experiences with child marriage. The storyline is a collection of verbatim from interviews with Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian child brides under the age of 18. Despite their unique experiences, the film also sheds a light on the collective experiences they shared with violence.
