    • Synopsis
    • 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. Maitha, economically challenged and a veiled Muslim woman, encounters various obstacles. She struggles to find balance between fulfilling her dream of swimming in the sea and avoiding agonizing encounters in public due to her veil and society's awareness of her gender. But, her fear of judgement is her biggest obstacle.
