This is a documentary
about women their husbands or partners have abused for years, even
decades. These women have found a way out of their brutal ties by
murdering their abusers. They have been sentenced to years-long
imprisonment. Are they criminals or victims who have taken the law
into their own hands? Why couldn’t they just walk out on their
abusers? Had anyone lent them a helping hand before? What is in
store for them after prison? These are only some of the questions
women prisoners, psychologists, lawyers, sociologists,
parliamentarians and experts in domestic violence are trying to
explain. Fifty-four percent of women in Serbia are
subject to some form of domestic violence. This is a document about
this form of brutality.
