The documentary tells the story of women who helped turn Jewish youth groups in Poland into resistance cells to fight the Nazis. Some of the girls were still teenagers when they witnessed the brutal murder of their families and neighbors, the rape of their communities, and they had to make a choice: protection or Salvation, Fight or flight. Thanks to their gender and the ability to hide their own Jewishness, women have managed to uniquely adapt to some important and life-threatening tasks, in particular, to perform the role of couriers. They also bribed Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in loaves of bread, and helped build underground bunker systems. They helped the sick and taught children, bombed German railways and undermined electricity supply in Vilnius. The author has researched numerous documents and memoirs, collected stories from direct participants of the resistance to show the breadth and scale of women's courage and highlight the extraordinary achievements of Jewish women whose exploits remained unknown.
