Hamad Almutaani
Maryam
Maryam elsker jobben som lege på et lite sykehus på den saudiarabiske bygda, selv om det er mannlige pasienter som nekter å bli behandlet av henne. Når hun blir invitert til en legekonferanse i utlandet, blir hun glad og føler en bekreftelse. Men det snur raskt til skuffelse når myndighetene krever samtykke fra faren hennes, som tilfeldigvis er bortreist. Frustrert og sint bestemmer Maryam seg for å ta saken i egne hender. Med hele den patriarkalske ledelsen mot seg, melder hun seg som kandidat i det kommende kommunevalget.
