Noa, a famous Israeli singer of Yemenite descent, prepares for a concert in Jerusalem. She is interrupted by an old Arab man who claims to have been a close friend of her great-grandmother and tells her about Mazal, a Jewish child-bride from Yemen, who preserves her religion, culture, family, and unique art, surviving the harsh, violent conditions of Jerusalem and the Holy Land in the late 19  through mid-20th centuries. She becomes the mother of Awo, a young widow, and the family's breadwinner through her skills as a jeweler in gold and silver. In time, a woman of property and an ardent patriot, she prevails through the unfolding bloody decades while living in the Old City in Jerusalem. For her great-grandchildren, who have only known peace and prosperity, her untold story needs to be told.
