Krista's story is complex. She refuses to see herself as a victim. With an almost
documentary style, “Nuwebe” (Siyam) follows Krista’s story as she demonstrates
a level of resilience uncommon to her age. Her mother on the other hand
is torn between her love for her child and her love for her husband.
