info_outlineLaila Hussein, a young woman in her early 20’s who used to live in a highly conservative household in the buzzing city of Cairo, Egypt, rebels against her family values and moves out of her family home. Laila shares her story, a gut-wrenching, heartbreaking series of events consisting of limitation of freedom, erasure of individuality, and cultural oppression in a refreshing fashion.
