A hard-driving designer seeks acclaim by developing a Middle Eastern museum only to discover the projectâs real value is not what she imagined.
Joanna and Ev have been partners for ten yearsâin business and in loveâwhen one of the only women in government in the Middle East invites their firm to design a childrenâs museum in Riyadh. Jo sees a chance to solidify her name in the design world, and help Saudi girls along the way, in the venture. Her husband, however, has no desire to work in a vigorously policed society; he prefers to remain in his workshop, fashioning gadgets for museum displays. Joâs sister and young protĂŠgĂŠ share his doubts, but Ev accedes to Joâs wishes. The process of bidding on the job soon throws their home office into chaos and challenges their long-held assumptions about the value of their workâand marriage. If they get the job, will their partnership survive the strain?
