Described as a Palestinian feminist revenge fantasy, this is the story of three very different Palestinian women, living and working in Tel Aviv. Tensions flair when Noor, who wears the hijab, moves in with the much more liberal and secular Laila and Salma. But all three find that they have more in common with each other than they expected. Conflicts with family and men produce a common bond of solidarity.
