A story about two virgin women in a society where marriage is part of the identity.
In a male dominated society like Egypt, women are harshly judged. They are denied the right to explore their sexuality and the right to express their emotions unless they are married. In order to get these rights, they have to comply with a rigid set of values. However,the reward is not always guaranteed.

SWEDEN
I ett mansdominerat samhälle som Egypten, är kvinnor hårt dömda. De nekas rätten att utforska sin sexualitet och rätten att uttrycka sina känslor om de inte är gifta. För att få dessa rättigheter måste de följa en strikt uppsättning värderingar. Dock är belöningen inte alltid garanterad.
