Synopsis

Zeinab, a single, middle-aged seamstress, lives a dreary existence in a suffocating Amman neighbourhood. After her father mysteriously disappears, her sisters, all with their own problems, return home to help find their father, all under the prying eyes and accusatory utterances of their pesky neighbours.

An insightful look into the sometimes difficult lives of being an Arab women, and battling society’s mores.
