At the dawn of the 20th century (1910), when slavery was sealed with ownership papers and freedom was sold in slave markets, Zahra was born in an aristocratic Sudanese palace. She ended up as a slave in the Gulf after a massacre that killed her family and robbed them of everything.


For twenty years, Zahra learned the rules of survival: silence when her back was struck and a smile when her dignity was violated.


But beneath the cloak of submission, her heart concealed a legacy of pride and intelligence inherited from her father.


Then came the great transformation when she was suddenly granted her freedom, not through the conscience of society, but through a chance encounter.


But what Zahra did with her freedom is what made all the difference. She refuses to be a victim and transforms into a leader, building a family from scratch and teaching her children that dignity is not restored with tears but with will and determination, so that one of her grandchildren becomes a statesman who changes the face of the country, while she remains the secret behind his greatness!
