The women live in different neighborhoods of Cairo and are at various stages of life: the Flemish Anke is preparing to move to a new compound, the British Jo, now divorced, visits her friend in the countryside, the young French Claire discovers fledgling love, and the German Kristin finds her home as a housewife in the city's green district—they all have their own stories.
