Three Yemeni teenage girls take part in an entrepreneurship competition. To do so, they have to deal with a country where the education is corrupted, where there are no jobs and which is under the threat of Al-Qaeda.
Despite growing up in a conservative society where traditional gender roles are encouraged and perpetuated, Wafaa, Maha and Reem are determined to forge a better future for themselves.
