The film follows the story of Iman, portrayed by Sherif, who navigates a journey in search of love amid daily challenges and societal prejudices against little people in Egyptian society. “In 2019, Abouelhassan reached out to me and told me about her film idea,” Sherif told Ahram Online. “She initially talked to the little people community about it, and they referred her to me because of my social media presence in raising awareness about little people,” Sherif added.
