In 2014, the so-called Islamic State tried to exterminate the Yazidis, an ethnic-religious group living in the Sinjar region of north-western Iraq. The terrorists murdered the men and captured many women and girls to serve them, including as sex slaves. Hanifa and her two sisters are suffering a lifelong trauma, but they do not want to be just victims of genocide; Hanifa is determined not to give up until she frees her other three sisters. With the help of brave volunteers, she searches for them in refugee camps and among IS members. Will the abducted girls be found and reunited with their families? And will the traumatised Yazidis ever be able to live a normal life again? The film by Polish director Hanna Polak was co-produced by Czech Television.
