Eight Arab and Jewish women from Hadera take part in a video workshop hosted by Rona, a young film director, who teaches them how to document their lives. After watching successive clips of footage from their homes, the women, who come from very diverse backgrounds, talk, ask questions, offer one another advice, and laugh.

The group dynamic forces them to challenge their views and beliefs as they get to know each other and themselves better. An intimate and inspiring portrait of the usually hidden everyday lives of Jewish and Palestinian women. These are women who want their stories to be heard, but are scared, or are unable, to tell them in the first person. The camera gives them that possibility.
