- Baker & Taylor
Tells the story of a young and strong-willed Saudi female doctor who, in the face of obstacles and humiliations, runs for office in the local city elections in order to fix the muddy road that delays medical care for her patients. - Music Box Films
When Maryam, a hardworking young doctor in a small-town clinic, is prevented from flying to Dubai for a conference without a male guardianâs approval, she seeks help from a politically connected cousin but 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.
