In order to avoid a forced marriage, 19-year-old Hala finds shelter across the Euphrates, in north-east Syria, at a military academy for women. While learning how to fight, she gets inspired by the promise of freeing every woman. After the Kurdish military takes over her city from ISIS, Hala returns ready to fulfil her greatest dream: to free her younger sisters from her father’s hand.
