As a little Roma girl, Dariana is abandoned by her mother and ends up in a children's home – until her uncle comes to collect her and promises her a better life. Instead, a nightmare begins: poverty, beatings, forced labor, and finally being sold into a forced marriage. Years of slavery, violence, and humiliation follow. But Dariana does not give up. With indomitable willpower she fights her way free, flees, and begins a new life – amid wild love affairs, dangerous men, war, Switzerland, and a fresh start in Germany.

Als kleines Roma-Mädchen wird Dariana von ihrer Mutter verlassen und landet in einem Kinderheim – bis ihr Onkel sie abholt und ihr ein besseres Leben verspricht. Stattdessen beginnt ein Albtraum: Armut, Prügel, Zwangsarbeit und schließlich der Verkauf in eine Zwangsehe. Jahre der Sklaverei, Gewalt und Demütigung folgen. Doch Dariana gibt nicht auf. Mit unbändiger Willenskraft kämpft sie sich frei, flieht und beginnt ein neues Leben – zwischen wilden Liebesabenteuern, gefährlichen Männern, dem Krieg, der Schweiz und dem Neuanfang in Deutschland.
