When their entire lives shatter, two Bedouin women struggle to change the unchangeable rules, each in her own individual way.

Desert noon in a Bedouin village in Southern Israel. Jalila is hosting an awkward celebration - the marriage of her husband to a second, much younger wife - while trying to conceal the insult that boils inside her. Her daughter Layla is preoccupied with a different matter. Her secret, strictly forbidden, love affair with Anuar was just unveiled by her mother. Jalila believes that the world is harsh and cruel, and the only way to win - is to keep your mouth shut, your head as high as possible without raising too much attention, and struggle from inside the limits of the traditional world surrounding you. Layla believes that there are no limits to the world surrounding her. Everything can be hers if she only wished hard enough. But, as the story unfolds, they each fail in her individual battle. Their whole family falls apart and everything they believe in shatters. Now, the two women are forced to understand that, if they wish to survive, they will have to start seeing the world from each other's eyes.—Elite Zexer

When Layla's mother Jalila knows of her daughter's secretly having a boyfriend, she forbids her from seeing him again. Layla gets furious and disobey, but what she doesn't know is that her mother is her ally and not her enemy. Then the father comes in and with him the mores of the Bedouin community they all belong in for better or for worse.—Lowland
