A true story of
Mayada Al-Askari, a daughter of an influence and wealth Iraqi family. Mayala
was working as translator to America journalist, Jean Sasson. Both women became
really good friend. When Sasson returned to the United State, they keep in
touch until 1999 when Mayala is arrested by Saddam Hussein's secret police.
Mayada is accused of printed pamphlets against Sadan Hussein regimen. Mayala
