Images of destroyed houses, crying women and children, injured soldiers – every day we are confronted with such scenes, often actually overwhelmed. The whole world seems to be in turmoil. The terrible news of our times are on our screens, in newspapers, and on television. But who actually delivers these news? And how do these people deal with it?

The film accompanies three female journalists during their work in crisis areas. India/Afghanistan, Belarus/Ukraine, Uganda/Congo – these are the countries from which these women report. They have to deal with patriarchal structures, dictators, and terrorist organizations. They constantly oscillate between exceptional situations and their private lives. The film asks how the three manage to deal with the experiences they have in their work. How the boundaries between profession and vocation become blurred and how any sort of breathing space is missing. And to what extent the fact of them being women plays a role in their reports.
