Nine women - as different as they are unknown to each other -are brought together by a tenth, a therapist, to share their stories. Regardless of their respective origin, social standing, age, and profession, each woman carries a weight brought about by fear, doubt, insecurity, and loneliness. Some face a past they cannot leave behind; others, a present that is opposed to what they wish for themselves, or a future that looms before them as a big black void of emptiness. They come against self-imposed or socially-accepted burdens, at peace with the knowledge that they don't stand alone and that, in the end, courage overcomes all.
