At the eve of the presidential elections she looks back at the past, and forward to the future with three friends.

Hend has been fighting on the barricades her entire life. On Tahrir Square she and her sisters pitched their tent and demanded Mubarak's departure. She still lives close to Tahrir Square, but for her, the square's romance seems to have gone for good. Fatma cast aside her dream of a knight in shining armour from some far-off land. The revolution destabilised her life, and she decided to look for new dreams closer to home. Nihal found the voice to make Egypt a better mother of the world, in the revolution.
