A coming-of-age story about personal growth and women's emancipation, set in Zanzibar. The narrative follows Samira, a young woman from Nungwi, a fishing village in the north of the island, over several years as she becomes a wife, mother, and teacher. Determined to build a family while rejecting the patriarchal norm that forces women to choose between motherhood and a career, she fights to break free from this deeply rooted, male-dominated tradition. But her journey proves to be as challenging as any path toward self-fulfillment.
