Farida, a teacher of 8 disabled women, hates nothing more but a weak personality. Her choice to start up a handicraft workshop for the mentally and physically disabled people in her village in Tunisia is one that inspires and challenges her on a daily basis. Day in and day out, we see how these women deal with her "tough love" and her taste for wicked humor and perfectionism. In this small room social miracles are being woven between threads and tears. This film is a window on the many under funded villages in the Arab World with large numbers of disabilities.
