SYNOPSIS
In the busy dusty streets of Alexandria, Captain Ramadan has been training Egyptian female weightlifters for more than 20 years to become world champions. He believes so much in Zebiba (meaning Raisin in Arabic); the 14-year-old girl who dreams to be the next Nahla Ramadan, the coach’s daughter/ trainee, gold medalist world champion, Olympian and one of the most famous and pioneer Egyptian athletes of all times. For 4 years, Zebiba goes through victories and defeats, including major losses that shape her, as she finds her way from dust to gold.
