The film chronicles the life of director Sara Ishaq, who was raised in Yemen by a Yemeni father and a Scottish mother. During her teenage years, she grew increasingly stifled by the restrictive environment around her, and at seventeen, she decided to move to Scotland to live with her mother. Her father consented on the condition that she would never abandon her Yemeni roots, a promise she made but struggled to keep. A decade later, specifically in 2011, Sara returned to Yemen a changed person, determined to confront her past homeland and reconnect with her heritage, only to find her family—and all of Yemen—on the brink of revolution.
