Original: تحت الوصاية
In the face of a patriarchal society, Hanan, a recently widowed mother of two, will do anything to keep custody of her children—even if it means becoming a fisherwoman.
After moving to a new city with her children, Hanan heads to the port where she snatches one of the boats and tries to repaint it before dawn.
Hanan strolls along the port looking for skilled fishermen to employ. Later, she heads off to one of the slums to issue fake IDs for her and her children.
As she sets with her crew on a fishing trip, Hanan finds herself in trouble when the boat suffers a gas leak at sea.
With no male legal guardian present, Hanan is prohibited from withdrawing her children’s money. Sana’ takes the train to be with Hanan, unaware that she’s being followed.
Hanan is determined to sell her catch at the fish auction despite the fierce competition. Saleh makes his friend falsely testify against Hanan and Sana’.
After Saleh leaves her cornered, Hanan prepares to sacrifice everything to save her sister.
Having realized that her crew needs support, Hanan takes it upon herself to help them carry the burden. Mona tries to make up with Saleh.
Saleh threatens Imad to force him to cooperate. Sayyed goes to extremes during the auction to sabotage Hanan’s sales.
After her crew quits, Hanan resorts to a loan shark to cover her expenses. Hagg Attiya’s health worsens.
After a new start at work, Hanan goes home to find that Yaseen and Farah are gone and the only one around to help her is Zakariya.
Hanan sets sail with her crew for another catch, until danger comes to her whence she least expected it, leading her to an inextricable situation.
Hanan must find a way to secure the needed amount of fish to strike a winning deal. Later, she receives an unexpected call from Sana’.
Hanan returns to Alexandria to file for financial guardianship of her kids, only to discover that Saleh has not played all his cards yet.
After discovering Hanan’s whereabouts, Saleh is keen on making sure her boat does not set sail ever again.
Hanan returns to port to find that her fate is in the hands of the very men who ruined her life.
