Synopsis: Manal, a housewife, insists on chasing a personal dream to get back to work. Her two young daughters are mesmerized by the smiling face they see daily on TV: the Arab phenomenon doll, Fulla. Behind Fulla’s smile is her marketing manager who knows that Damascene society traditions are top-selling products.
