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.
