The military command, which dismisses the talents of these women, sends them on a mission to the front lines, where their bravery will be put to the test.
As the story unfolds, these women must not only fight against the enemy but also against the prejudices of a society that sees them as mere companions. Each of them has a personal story that reveals their dreams, fears, and hopes amidst the chaos. In particular, a young nurse, with a strong conviction for justice, becomes the central figure, striving to prove that her courage can match or even exceed that of her male counterparts.

Their experiences between the battlefield and the hospital bind them together, and together they face heart-wrenching decisions that will change their lives forever. With a raw and realistic approach, the film explores the role of women in wartime, emphasizing how, in the most extreme circumstances, courage and humanity can blossom in the most unexpected places.
