Behind the laughter in a shelter for mothers, Viki’s story unfolds — a survivor of abuse and trafficking who fought for over a decade to rebuild her life and reunite with her children. A powerful portrait of resilience, love, and the courage to speak out.

At first sight, Viki is an ordinary woman, a single mother, who does everything for her  four children, but the apparent family harmony, the recordings of the playful moments  in the Mothers’ Home (shelter) are covering a dramatic past. The actual setting of  the family is the result of more than 10 years of Viki’s hard work. Viki was constantly abused as a child but her life changed forever when she was sold at 18 years old to a human trafficking business, She could only escape after long years of  prostitution. She started a new life, got married, got four kids but that is when real struggles just started in her life. Two of her children stayed with their father, Viki’s youngest  could stay with her, and her middle child was raised by foster parents until the age of  seven. Viki never gave up on her children to be with them. This short documentary is  a statement of hers, a story of facing difficulties when an exceptional survivor decised not to be in silence anymore.
