A Zanzibari woman aspires to have a family like all of her friends, but is also determined to pursue higher education and a career.

Samira is a Zanzibari woman who aspires to have a family like all of her friends, but is also determined to pursue higher education and a career. Throughout seven years of her life, amidst social pressures and the ever-present need to respect traditions, it seems she must choose one life over the other. A brilliant look at the inspiring trajectory of a modern, young African woman's goals and ultimate freedoms. Filmed with a sensitive eye that imbues Samira's story with the context of day-to-day life in urban Zanzibar Town, compared to the many nuances of life in the fishing village of Nungwi. In Swahili and English, with English subtitles.
