Description
In a society bound by tradition, two women, Isma and Hajila, find themselves trapped within the confines of marriage and expectation. When Hajila witnesses a glimpse of freedom in an unveiled woman, a yearning for a life beyond the veil ignites within her. It is Isma, her co-wife, who recognizes this nascent desire and offers the path to liberation. Together, they embark on a journey to escape the patriarchal restraints that have long dictated their lives, seeking agency and self-discovery in a world that seeks to silence them.
