Wrong brides in wrong marriages. "Torn veils" is what Nena called these women, the first customers of the neighborhood hair salon. "It's gone, her veil has torn too," she would think when she saw a client in the washbasin flipping through magazines, silently crying over the man who turned out to be worthless to her.

In today's Athens, five women unite their shattered lives and form a broken heart. Nena will meet the love of her life on the day she marries someone else. Maro's rape leads to a complex legal dispute that will leave a mark. Solfes and Miranda will go through fire and iron until they come out into the light. Iocaste, in the years of her decline, will experience a teenage frenzy of love.
Five women now walk hand in hand, disregarding ages, classes, and generations. Five women throw away their torn veils and reclaim their lives from the beginning. Five women, through love, violence, laughter, and tears, fight for their own "together".

In an era where human rights are drowned out by the cries of their deniers, Elena Akrita narrates a powerful story with humor and emotion, while her pen becomes a conduit for the hidden voice that starts from within us.
