This documentary feature film explores human resilience, the transition from child to adult and one's capacity to turn hardships into an opportunity for self growth. War tragically pushed Asmaa out of her home country, Syria, where her destiny had been written as a wife and mother with only 16 years of age. Despite her complex living situation as a refugee and the community's conservative mindset, Asmaa is determined to raise a conscious generation of successful women.
