SUMMARY
Salma is an independent woman with a serious work ethic and a cold temperament. She operates a struggling baking business from home where her daughter Farah visits daily and is an emotional mess with marital problems. Their already difficult lives are further disrupted by bad news – Salma’s ex-husband- Bakri has passed away. Lamia, Bakri’s new wife, enters their lives, desperate for money. The only inheritance Lamia received from Bakri is his share of the house where Salma lives. Lamia has no choice but to move in with Salma. Farah’s marital issues prompt her to also move back in with her mother. Finding common ground and making some life changes, all the women find a way to become a very unusual non traditional family.
Q&A to follow with director Hanadi Elyan and producer Nathan Bennett.
