A NEW DAY IN OLD SANA’A

Υoung Tariq is about to marry Bilquis, who is the eldest daughter of a prominent and powerful judge and whom Tariq has never met. But as he wanders through the cobblestone streets of Sana’a late one night, he spots a beautiful young woman dancing in the street, wearing a wedding dress, and falls madly in love with her. The woman is a munagasher (henna) artist and, therefore, belongs to a low caste, thus forbidding her union with Tariq. Before long, the young groom must choose between following his heart and protecting his family’s honor.
