ΣΥΝΟΨΗ

Το 1962 μια παρέα κοριτσιών έγινε πρωτοσέλιδο όταν το έσκασαν απ' το σπίτι για να κλειστούν σε μοναστήρι. Κάθε φορά που το έσκαγαν όμως, οι γονείς τους τις έφερναν με το ζόρι πίσω, μέχρι που τα κατάφεραν. Σκοπός τους όμως δεν ήταν να απομονωθούν απ' την κοινωνία με νηστεία και προσευχή. Αυτό που ήθελαν περισσότερο απ' οτιδήποτε άλλο, ήταν να προσφέρουν καταφύγιο σε παραμελημένα και κακοποιημένα παιδιά. Μισόν αιώνα αργότερα, οι πρωτεργάτιδες του Λυρείου Παιδικού Χωριού συνεχίζουν το έργο τους χωρίς βοήθεια από το κράτος ή την εκκλησία. Το "Μάνα" είναι μια διαφορετική ιστορία γυναικείας χειραφέτησης που έχει αλλάξει τις ζωές εκατοντάδων παιδιών ως τώρα, επαναπροσδιορίζοντας την έννοια του όρου οικογένεια.
