The two brothers, Helmy and Diaa, work in a car repair shop, while their mother works as a dancer in a nightclub.
Every day, when she goes out to work, one of the brothers disguises herself in her clothes to imitate her, and exercises the same dominance over the other with which she treats them.
In a theatrical text based on the play “The Maids” by the French writer Jean Genet, and taking place in the poor post-war neighborhoods of Damascus, Zain Saleh raises the questions that an entire generation suffers from about power, family, asylum, and gender.
