Damascus, Spring 2011. Nahla, 25, is torn between her desire for freedom and the hope of leaving the country thanks to her arranged marriage with Samir, a Syrian expatriate in the USA. But when he chooses her younger sister, Myriam, she gets closer to her new neighbor, the mysterious Ms. Jiji.
Weaving the sexual awakening of a woman on the cusp of adulthood with the slow beginning of the war in Syria, this subtle, everyday portrait of a female household challenges ideas of femininity and virility in the Middle East. A delicately complex drama, infused with a unique, emancipatory aura.
