Original: الصفقة
Set in Kuwait in 1988, two women making their way in the boys club of the Kuwait Stock Exchange, on the eve of Saddam Hussein's invasion of the country.
As the ink dries on her divorce papers, Farida contends with her new reality. A charity auction reignites a friendly rivalry between her and Munira.
On their first days at work and school, Farida seeks an alliance and Jude keeps a low profile. Feeling unheard, Munira takes matters into her own hands.
As the family meticulously plans for its matriarch's 80th, Munira finds tactical inspiration in an unlikely place. Farida pursues more independence.
The duo’s success lands them in the limelight, but the bank’s secret plan finds them between a rock and a hard place — and snubbed by their loved ones.
After realizing that their presence in an important meeting is merely for show, Farida and Munira forge their own path — despite external distractions.
As the 1987 market crash looms, the Exchange braces for a critical all-nighter. Putting their personal lives on hold, Farida and Munira join the storm.
