A young woman is tired of chasing love and decides to rebel against the male-dominated world she feels trapped in. She transforms herself into three different types of women and goes through stages from anger to escapism. Everything she does is based on the lie that she suffers from vulvodynia, a chronic, painful condition of the vulva. She provokes and hates everything related to the penetrating male phallus, not least her latest love interest. But can you hate love?

Iben and her boyfriend Alex are among the leading figures at the Youth House in Copenhagen; a sanctuary for the city's young people who do not fit in elsewhere. When the Copenhagen Municipality suddenly sells the house to the religious sect, Faderhuset, they and the other young residents come under immense pressure. While Iben tries to draw the attention of politicians and the press, Alex joins a faction of the house that no longer believes in peaceful solutions. "Rebels - Never Surrender" is based on real events leading up to the demolition of the Youth House in 2007, but above all, it is the story of a group of young people who take to the barricades for the right not to conform.
