A dark November night in 1979, 300 women storm and occupy the Grevinde Danner Stiftelse in Copenhagen, to salvage it from demolition and transformation to offices. In a montage of old and new footage, the film follows the women's nerve wrecking race against time, as they, with the aid of a united Denmark, collect millions of Kroners to buy and restore the house, that was to become Denmark's first crisis centre for battered women.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
