Drama116 min

After her husband’s sudden death, Nawal must protect her daughter and their home from inheritance laws that favor a male heir. Mouna Hawa is Nawal, a working mother whose grief is quickly overtaken by a fight with her late husband’s family, including a brother-in-law who stands to take what she has. Desperate to hold onto her place in Jordan’s rigid legal and social order, she claims to be pregnant, turning a private lie into a daily calculation. Haitham Alomari and Yumna Marwan are part of the pressure closing in as Nawal tries to keep her footing.
