“Between the tides of tradition and the dreams of a new life, one fisherman’s journey shapes the future.”
Set in a coastal Emirati village during the 1950s, the film follows a fisherman named Juma who strives to fulfill his late wife's wish of educating their two sons—particularly Rashid, who dreams of a wealthy life. This creates a conflict between tradition and personal ambition amid subtle social transformations.
