Heaven Beneath my Feet is the story of three Lebanese Women who are struggling to preserve their right to keep the custody of their children. Lina, who lives in the rural town of Baumholder, Germany, passes her days waiting for the decision of German officials on her residency permit in Germany so she could reunite with her five-year-old son whom she hasn't seen since the father came up with a way to keep him out of her reach; Fatima who lives with her parents in the Southern suburb of Beirut and continuously refuses to give up her four-year-old son after rebelling against the religious authority court and preferred prison instead of obeying their laws; and Zainab from the Beqaa mountains who completely lost her son after her divorce and couldn't win any legal battle to see him, lives her days hanging to a bit of hope.
