Sarah puts her martial arts career before everything else. Now her time as a professional boxer is coming to an end and she has to realise that the world outside the ring follows different rules. An opportunity to train three boxing-mad sisters from a wealthy family in Jordan comes at just the right time. She leaves without thinking about it. In Jordan, she meets the sisters in a hermetically sealed and monitored house. They are not interested in boxing. It is another foreign world for Sarah, in which she wonders what she was actually hired for. A film about the limits of one's own culture. The imagery is intense and sometimes drastic.
Director's Biography:Kurdwin Ayub, born in Iraq in 1990 and raised in Austria, cultivates the gaze of an observer. In her films, she tells of intimate, seemingly superficial things. She uses them to show what doesn't work in the system.
