Fearing that her younger sister will be wed off just like she was, Ahlam lures Yasmin to run away with her by telling a story of a mythical sea that lies beyond the desolate desert and its mountains. Yasmin’s childish curiosity overturns her father’s apprehension and his warnings of the monster that resides beyond the borders of their house. Along the way, young Yasmin is forced to face her inner demons and her understanding of the world.
