This bittersweet debut feature is an empowering tale of three Palestinian women living in Tel Aviv, each fighting their own battles for independence and fulfilment. Balancing tragicomic relationship blues with sharp socio-political observation, the slyly subversive drama draws us deep into an often hidden world as the women try to balance their traditions with the modern world.
