SINGING WOMEN

An unlikely group of distressed women struggle with their tribulations, united by extraordinary reserves of energy, courage, hope and faith. As the women transform their tragedy with songs of rebellion and life, they also infect the frustrated, never grown-up child Adem, with the joys of being human. The film follows them throughout their inspiring, humanistic journeys into the different dimensions of existence.
