Title:Beit Byoot
Jameela, a pleasant little girl who lives in a dystopian doll home, wants everything except to blend in with the other girls. She gets rejected since she does not appear like the other carbon-copied girls. That's when she meets the unusual Yasmine and must finally choose between sincere friendship and being ostracized or artificial friendships and blending in. Don’t we all find ourselves at this crossroads? A warm, worth-related watch all the way!
