CGiii Comment

Eva, a young reserved girl, arrives to the Refuge, a woman's aid centre run by Mrs Kane. There she is introduced to the other girls who greet her with mistrust and distance. The strict rules of the household are explained and Eva's new life begins in a pressing feeling of entrapment. The story is charged in fear, love, tension and hope. The Refuge is threatened by government cuts in funding that would leave the girls, homeless. Until they unite in a final act of protest.
