Miriam El Kwader, una fotografa che lavora abitualmente per le cerimonie dei matrimoni beduini, è madre di sette figli e vive in un villaggio abbandonato, dimenticato da tutti. Miriam va con la sua cinepresa alle cerimonie, raccogliendo immagini che rendono allo spettatore uno tra i più grandi problemi della società moderna beduina, ovvero la poligamia.
Il film racconta la storia di tre donne evolute e indipendenti, cresciute in una società in cui si applica la poligamia, che tentano, ognuna a suo modo, di sopravvivere a questa dura realtà. Una di loro vive nell’incubo che suo marito sposi anche un’altra woman, the other already "second wives". In short, all work together against their will to a system that does not share and that is frightening.
