Three unmarried, aristocratic Palestinian Christian sisters (played by Ula Tabari, Nisreen Faour, Cherien Dabis) lock themselves away in their big house in Ramallah, living in a time warp since the lost of their land and status after the 1967 war with Israel. Within the villa’s crumbling walls, the sisters exist in their own personal bubbles, each with her own secrets, dreams and failed love story, hidden behind a mask of manners and propriety. When their young orphaned niece, Badia, walks into their lives, she challenges their stifling routine and turns their world upside down. To preserve the family’s name, the three sisters make it their mission to marry her off to an eligible aristocratic Christian man.
