The year is 1921. Ireland has been at war for two years. Communities are torn apart by bitter hatred and now a hard border splits the island. In Belfast, Helens Hope hostel is a progessive space where young women live and work together a haven of tolerance and diversity in a fractured city. But some people hate Helens Hope and its values.
