In Jordan, inheritance law applies only to men. If a woman does not have any
male heirs, she must split the property with the extended family. When
Nawal’s husband unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself in just such a
situation. Left alone with a young daughter, she must face her
country’s unfavorable patriarchal laws, ravenous relatives, and her
husband’s past. At the center of this social drama is actress Mouna Hawa, who
has manifested a boundless range of emotions in a character who besides learning
to drive also begins to take control of her own life on her journey towards more
equal conditions.
