- Seventeen years after a terror attack that took the life of her best friend, filmmaker Ariela Alush is ready to take the final step of her healing process. Strong enough and determined to confront the place that gave her a second chance to live, she is going back to Sinai Peninsula, to realize that there is a deeper story lies in there.
  In a year seeped in a global pandemic Ariela embarks on a journey to reveal the truth behind her injury.
  Inspired by 5 other female survivors from around the world, sharing their pains and triumphs, Ariela realizes that they're all going through the same experience: Discovering hidden strengths to embrace their ever-presence wounds, while learning resilience towards new catastrophes. Each one of these heroines finds a different way to rebuild her heart and turn her invisible shrapnels of hate - into seeds of compassion, forgiveness and love.
