Synopsis

Emma is whisked away in the dead of night, covered in bruises, and unexpectedly pregnant. Finding a new home in a women’s shelter, she rediscovers lost facets of herself. Among the women and children living in the shelter, individual traumas intertwine. Despite their differences, a delicate sisterhood emerges.

Emotionally raw, empathetic, and intensely honest, this deeply moving and ultimately cathartic drama is a display of women’s strength.

This film is Luxembourg's official submission for the 2026 Oscars in the Best International Feature category.
