Synopsis: Gameela, a young and independent woman, dreams of immigrating to New Zealand in search of the perfect life, when she meets Youssef. The two young people with wanderlust, at odds with old friends and entrenched in less-than-ideal second hand sales and repair jobs, decide to emigrate from Egypt to New Zealand. This romantic comedy by Egyptian writer and director Hala Khalil exploits the hilarity of a marriage of convenience that unexpectedly turns into something more. (R. Tomco).
