In busy Cairo, Hala (Basma) has isolated herself inside her apartment, yet she is never truly alone. Constantly battling mental illness and suicidal thoughts, Hala is unable to fulfill the traditional duties of a wife and a mother to her newborn baby. Her sweet husband is nothing but supportive, but an innocent mistake at work blows out of proportion and requires him to serve time. All her familial responsibilities are now on her shoulders, including the legal battle to get him out of jail. In his feature debut, Hisham Saqr captures with empathy the journey of a deeply complex and emotionally fragile woman who has no choice but to find the inner strength to stand up for herself in a society uncaring of her struggles. As she becomes reacquainted with herself, Hala's transformation makes for an empowering tale.
