The film documents the lives of three Palestinian widows who live in the West Bank. The three women, Najwa, Nawal, and Siham, live with their 11 children in a house on Shuhada Street in Hebron. Their house lies on the border; the facade is under Israeli occupation, the Palestinian authority controls the back. Three women, trapped in the middle, constantly surrounded by soldiers, carry on their difficult lives in a double prison - one internal and one external.
