A story of female emancipation, set in Zanzibar, which follows, for 7 years, the life of the main character, a young woman from Nungwi – a fishing village in the north of the island – until we find her as a wife, a mother and a teacher. Samira wants to have a family, but she also wants to break away from the sexist, patriarchal and ancestral cliché of the woman who has to choose between family and work. The choice will turn out to be a challenge, as is the case every time you want to be fulfilled.
