Nayla is faced with an important life decision. She has to decide whether to give in to her overwhelming first love or to the vision of a better future in an unknown land. The situation is complicated by the fact that she is seventeen and lives in Lebanon. The men around her feel that they know what Nayla needs better than she does, and they push their opinions on her relentlessly. Fortunately, she is not standing alone against the strict men. Young Lebanese director Leila Basma made this atmospheric film about the power of spirit and female friendship while studying at FAMU in Prague.
