When Maryam, a hardworking young doctor in a small-town clinic,
is prevented from flying to Dubai for a conference without a male
guardian's approval, she seeks help from a politically connected
cousin and inadvertently registers as a candidate for the municipal
council. Maryam sees the election as a way to fix the muddy road
in front of her clinic, but her campaign slowly garners broader appeal
opening her up to a world that isn’t ready for her kind of leadership.
