The film follows a year in the life of Huda Abu Abied, a 19-year-old Bedouin girl from the Negev desert in Israel. As a young independent woman, she refuses to adapt to the patriarchal traditional society back in her village. As a very concerned and politically aware individual, she feels compelled to fight for equal rights for her fellow Bedouins in light of their alienation and bitterness towards the Jewish state.
