Bigger than Trauma

Women whose families were killed in Croatian war for independence; who were tortured and raped but survived kept silent for 25 years.
Despite all that and the fact that they still live in the vicinity to their abusers- former friends and schoolmates, these women are getting their power back.
For 3 years the film follows 3 women connecting with their deepest truths during the strengthening program, but also in their homes, villages and cities where they live.

Mary feels she doesn't deserve to be free;
For Kate any change is very scary;
Ana describes herself as a little lonely duckling that doesn't belong anywhere.

Today, the discovery of who they could be without the trauma they're identified with, is changing their life and relations.
