Walaa grew up in a West Bank refugee camp, with her mother incarcerated. She aspires to be a policewoman – wanting the uniform, independence from marriage, and financial security. Facing family disapproval, Walaa defies expectations by applying to the police academy and succeeding. However, her rebellious nature and complex relationship with her mother, compounded by her challenging circumstances, present ongoing obstacles. This film follows Walaa from age 15 to 21, offering an unprecedented look inside the Palestinian police academy as she confronts formidable hurdles, learns to navigate rules, and challenges preconceived notions about her potential.
