Synopsis
Sana'a tour operator Kais scrapes together a living from the travelers who dare to come to Yemen. Initially, Kais is skeptical about the Arab Spring protests against President Saleh, but once he begins working for documentary filmmaker Sean McAllister as a translator, he and his younger brother both join in protests which end up uniting members of tribes that are normally at odds with one another. During these difficult times, Kais' wife just so happens to be expecting her third child. His family already struggles with a difficult financial situation which becomes further compromised by the general state of emergency. Moreover, Kais feels responsible for McAllister who the Yemeni secret service deem an unwanted foreign journalist and seek to expel as soon as possible.
