The film is a comedy-drama that recounts the story of a family torn between modernity and tradition in Saudi Arabia.
The film, shot in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is financed by Rotana Group, a company owned by Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
Saudi audiences were able to see the film on pay-per-view through an agreement with Showtime Arabia. The movie was shown at 17 festivals worldwide.
