FILM SYNOPSIS:

In Mosul, Nawal takes care of her ailing mother Samia, whose condition worsens as medicine disappears from the city. In the few days she has left, Nawal, her mother and their neighbour share small moments of joy. The ladies sing and dance, they use make-up and make scents, they tell jokes and laugh too hard. In the midst of illness, poverty and war, they manage to transform something dire into something joyful, creating beauty where ugliness strikes.
