More than 40 interviews with women help us understand who are those who leave their native Romanian villages for a better life. These women are without doubt fierce fighters. In their daily struggle for survival, either "here" or"there", happiness is an almost impossible ideal and they seldomly have the luxury to put themselves first. In a world where the idea of plenty or even enough is almost non-existent, what we would easily call destiny - but is actually the government and the state - seems to always be an obstacle in their path.
