Twenty-two year old Hind from Morocco has had not official status since she was raped when she was fourteen; she was subsequently kicked out from her family home and left with no other choice than engaging in prostitution. Despite the odds of her situation, she has refused to give up her dream of dignity, motherhood and love and has been trying to make ends meet by performing traditional dances in weddings.
