Synopsis

The daily life of five young women who live in an accommodation and rehabilitation center in Paris. All are haunted by troubled pasts (rape, abandonment, physical abuse). They try to make progress and prefer to consider the glass half-full rather than half-empty. Everyone except Sam, that is.

Honeymoon, by Alkis Papastathopoulos

After a traumatising event involving the cops, Fay is leaving Greece for good. Sandra accompanies her to the bus station, taking this time as a chance to say goodbye. As they are travelling by bus across the country, a transphobic attack by two co-passengers leaves them stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere.
