Jordanian Norma starts her own hairdressing salon with her friend Dalia to postpone an arranged marriage. The venture is turned a blind eye by both families, and Norma and Dalia secretly rebel against all the restrictions imposed on women in their country. When Dalia meets the Catholic Michael, she immediately falls in love. During a rendezvous with him, she is caught by her brothers. Two days later, Norma finds her friend in her parental home, stabbed to death by her father: the family's honor had to be saved. Norma Khouri Albqaeen writes in an extremely oppressive way about the gruesome practice of honor killing and also sketches a loving portrait of her best friend, who had to pay for her love for a man with the 'wrong' faith with death. Forbidden love is a stunning modern tragedy.
