Fahrijes Mann wird seit dem Kosovo-Krieg vermisst und ihre Familie hat finanziell zu kämpfen. Um sie zu versorgen, gründet sie ein kleines landwirtschaftliches Unternehmen. Doch in ihrem traditionellen, patriarchalischen Dorf werden ihr Ehrgeiz und ihre Bemühungen, sich und andere Frauen zu stärken, nicht gern gesehen. Sie kämpft nicht nur darum, ihre Familie über Wasser zu halten, sondern auch gegen eine feindselige Gemeinschaft, die ihr in den Rücken fällt.
