During the time her mother is kept captive in an Israeli prison, in the largest refugee camp in the West Bank Walaa grows up dreaming of wearing a uniform, avoiding marriage and earning a salary. Despite warnings that a woman in the army would bring shame to the family, Walaa will pursue her dream of becoming a policewoman. A tough living situation, a complicated mother-daughter relationship and her own unruliness are but a few of the challenges Walaa will have to conquer.
