Sarra Alshehhi

A childless Emirati couple must buy a gift for their newborn nephew while navigating social pressure to start a family. When the husband's overbearing mother turns up unannounced, things take a turn for the worse.

Living in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, a conservative society, Maitha has a small and seemingly simple dream of swimming in the sea that she frequents. She struggles to avoid agonizing encounters in public due to her veil and society's awareness of her gender. But, fear of judgment is her biggest obstacle of all.
