- Synopsis
- Aishe, Khawla and Rehab are ladies who have come to make a
  change. They repair leakages, clean water tanks and show housewives
  how to handle water properly - in Jordan, one of the driest
  countries on earth.
  Aishe, after losing her husband, was trained by self-assigned first
  female plumber of Jordan, Khawla Al-Sheikh, in order to be able
  to solely provide for her three children.
  They have been working together in Khawla’s NGO for female
  plumbers since, and they have become close friends. As Aishe’s
  40th birthday is approaching, she shares her dreams of self-realization
  with Khawla who encourages her to set a goal and go for
  it. Khawla herself seemingly accomplished everything - until she
  has to stand trial due to corruption allegations. The reputation
  of the plumbers organization is suffering as well as Aishe’s and
  Khawla’s friendship.
  Aishe is still determined to earn her living with plumbing. She
  drums up her own business by taking on jobs in her village and
  slowly becoming independent.
  When Khawla needs Aishe to testify for her in court, Aishe is not
  sure what to do - be loyal to her best friend or focus on her own
  business?
