Synopsis
In Ramallah, Mariam and Noura reunite after their father's death, only to discover he left behind a sizable inheritance. Bound by frustration with a system that favors their absent brother, they devise a daring plan to secure the money before he learns of their loss. As tensions rise and old wounds resurface, the sisters must navigate bureaucracy, family dynamics, and societal expectations in a story that blends humor with a critique of patriarchal norms.
