The film is not the end, but just the beginning…it is the first step in their transformation into proud and remarkable Palestinian actresses and directors — for whom it is impossible to separate between art and life.

Explores the rights of women, the liberation from Israeli occupiers, and above all the question of how freely a woman on stage is allowed to develop her own form of expression.
