In a legal system that favours men, specifically economically, two bickering and poor sisters overcome their differences in order to beat the system. They successfully concoct a scheme and finally get a chance to start over.
The father of the poor and bickering sisters Mariam and Noura dies and unexpectedly leaves a large sum of money in the bank. According to the law, their brother can claim half of the money because he’s the male sibling. Enraged by the injustice, the sisters decide to put their differences aside and join forces in concocting a scheme to get their hands on the money before their brother finds out about their father’s death.
