Description

In the Arab village of Jisr az-Zarqa, against a backdrop of rising tensions and threats to the place's identity, three women embark on a personal and collective journey for change. As a new Jewish neighborhood is being built nearby, threatening the village's character, Amina (45), Munira (46), and Ruya (19) unite in an attempt to reshape their future and the future of their community. Through their personal stories, the film exposes the daily struggle of Arab women for identity, self-realization, and social justice within a complex and challenging reality.
