There are about 2.5 million Turkish minority members in Germany. Every year at least a dozen Turkish women are beaten to death by their husbands or other family members. The actual scale of those crimes in Germany, where law and order are so highly valued, is unknown. The short documentary "Little Bride" follows the story of a teenager of Turkish origin, who at the age of 13 was forced to marry in Germany. Shortly afterwards, hell broke out, the girl being beaten and abused many times. After several years, she manages to escape and hide in various places until 2009, when he decides to tell her life story on camera.
