THIS FILM IS INSPIRED BY REAL EVENTS, BUT THE STORY, CHARACTERS,

AND DRAMATIC CONTEXT ARE ENTIRELY FICTIONAL,

AND ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL PERSONS OR ENTITIES IS NOT INTENDED IN ANY WAY.

The forecasts still indicate moderate to heavy thunderstorms,

accompanied by surface winds that stir up dust.

This could cause floods to flow through valleys and low-lying areas.

We urge all citizens and residents to remain cautious

and stay away from places where water accumulates.

As we said, girls, an accepted hadith is one of two types:

authentic and good.

An example of an authentic hadith is the one about the sweetness of faith.

We must understand its intention and meaning.

To love Allah and His Messenger and your brethren for the sake of Allah,

to hate disbelief and all sins.

All of these help us feel the sweetness of faith in our hearts.

Okay, girls?

Now make sure to study hard. Don't forget that.

- I hope the test will be easy. - Mona, copy the homework.

THE VIRTUE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN AND SUNNAH

FROM THE ASHES: THE PIT

OUR LORD, DO NOT IMPOSE BLAME UPON US IF WE HAVE FORGOTTEN OR ERRED

Don't let anything distract you from your studies.

What's all this stuff?

Where did the bag go? Where did you put it?

Go look for it. Hurry!

Girl! Go check the stove!

Oh my God!

Come on. God forgive me!

Where did my things go?

It's all there!

Enough! Stop it, all of you!

You still haven't washed the dishes?

I did. Those are the neighbors' dishes.

Don't forget to study for your final

so you can finally graduate.

And you, turn it off the second you lose.

May God guide you.

Wasn't all you've been through enough?

You don't study. You don't pray like you should.

You don't even help around the house. You're glued to the TV all day.

You're glued to your phone.

I just don't get it. What's the point?

What do I get from you besides trouble and stress?

Hey!

- God, Mom! You startled me! - What are you hiding?

Nothing.

How was your doctor's appointment?

It was all right. A waste of time.

"Waste of time"? You should be grateful.

I swear, if it wasn't for Ms. Siham taking care of your therapy sessions...

I'm so grateful for her.

You know what people would say if they found out you were on meds?

They'll say, "She's strong, and she's getting treatment."

Tell me something. Come here. Is the doctor married?

You want to marry off the doctor too?

Yes, he's wearing a wedding ring.

What's embarrassing about my job?

Isn't being a matchmaker better than being a janitor?

Right, girl?

Who's the guest?

Your friend Mona's mother.

- Mona? - Yes.

Mona isn't my friend anymore. What does she want?

- She-- Your dad's here. - I'm home. Coming through.

- Help your dad. - I got it.

- I'm home. - Hurry, get in.

Welcome!

Did I keep you waiting? My husband's home.

That's all right.

- I can come back later if you're busy. - Stay.

No, seriously.

Go on. What else are you looking for?

Nothing specific, as long as he's financially ready.

Go on. Tall, short, fat, skinny?

It doesn't matter. As long as he's ready.

Nothing like the last one, please.

- And-- - I know. Not dark skinned.

I don't mean to offend you.

Why would I be offended, dear? Am I marrying him? For real.

Okay, thank you.

As soon as possible, please.

How about we have the permitted meeting tomorrow?

- Are you serious? - Yes.

- Tomorrow as in tomorrow? - Yes.

- I haven't even told Mona yet! - The sooner, the better.

The man's a real catch. He's loaded.

I'll check with her, and let's hope for the best.

Let me know, okay?

- I will. - Let me know.

I'm telling you, he's a catch.

Check with her, and let me know by tonight.

- Okay, I will. - Okay.

Welcome back, dear listeners. Today in Saudi...

What's this smell?

Dad.

Are the results out?

Dad! The final exams start tomorrow.

How could you forget? You said you'd help me with calculus.

Hey! Give me the phone!

Hello?

Hey, Abu Uday.

No. Start digging.

No, that wasn't our deal.

Mimi. The charger.

- What? - The charger.

No way.

Not my problem.

Mimi!

BRB.

Hurry up, guys! Come on, faster! We don't have all day!

Come on, mister!

So, are you with us?

The weather's off today. I don't know how they'll stay focused.

It's only two exams. Don't worry about it.

It'd be better if we send the girls home

and reschedule those two exams for tomorrow.

Good idea.

They don't need education.

Let's shut down the school and take a break. Perfect.

- Cracking jokes now? - Well...

Mariam's maternal leave couldn't have come at a worse time.

She gave birth early from all that running after the girls.

Siham, you're the only one who's cut out for this job.

You've only been here for a semester,

and the school's already doing better than we expected.

Why would being vice principal change anything?

Paint that entire column. I don't want to see a single letter on it.

Don't worry. I'm here with you, okay?

Okay.

Girls, I'm so scared. I feel like I didn't study well.

Honestly, I'm not scared at all.

Last night, my dad dropped everything and helped me study.

Lucky you!

If my dad helped me study, I'd be here with a black eye.

Samia, weren't you supposed to get braces?

What's your point?

Mona! Come here.

Tell them how you kept studying at your old school

after the fire.

- She told us. - Let her talk. Go on.

- Honestly, girls, it was terrifying. - Really?

I swear, it was so scary that the tables and chairs were moving.

Even the girls, as they ran, kept tripping over each other.

- I swear. - Honestly, you're a hero.

If I were her,

I'd never be able to study with my hair burnt like that.

Honestly.

Thank you.

And even later on,

I was wrongfully accused.

That reminds me of our old principal.

She wrongfully accused me for no reason.

Oh my God. You always say the same thing.

Can't you just tell us the story?

Forget it, girls. Let's just study.

Mona.

Let's talk. It's urgent.

Uh, if you're lost, the maintenance door is over there.

Do you want me to mop the floor with your face?

Girls, Mrs. Puff is here!

Yeah, go ahead. Keep arguing and wasting time.

And during the exam, beg each other for the answers.

Miss, honestly, your shirt is amazing.

Where did you get it?

And you, Masha'el? Do you miss being in trouble?

We weren't arguing. Just some revision for the exam.

You! Give me that.

Show me what's in your hand.

- What's that? - Aren't we allowed to read?

A novel? Didn't we say romantic novels weren't allowed?

No, Miss. It's about a guy who gets possessed by a female demon.

Dear God, protect me.

I knew your eyeliner looked satanic.

Wipe it off!

Ms. Siham is spoiling you. Come on!

Come here.

Show me what you've got. What's this?

Look at that! You think you're at a banquet?

Go upstairs to the exam room! Go!

Mom says what matters most in a girl is...

What? Her manners?

The lashes at the corner of her eyes.

Girl! Where are you going?

Get back in line!

- Your pockets. - I don't have pockets.

I swear, I don't.

I really don't.

Open the pencil case.

I only have a mirror. There's nothing else.

You're not allowed to bring anything in except pens.

- It's just a mirror. - Go in, please.

Quit biting your nails. Be kind to yourself.

Show me your pockets.

Go in.

- Face down. - Mona, give me the answers.

True, false. Okay?

Listen up, young ladies.

I know you're nervous and stressed about the exam.

But hopefully, the exam will be really easy.

The questions are easy.

Most importantly,

no one leaves their seat.

What's so funny?

Sorry, Miss. I get the urge to laugh when I'm nervous. Sorry.

Really?

You've seen me angry before, right?

Don't make me humiliate you in front of the girls!

Yes, sorry.

Keep it face down.

Keep it face down.

Ms. Widad.

Papers aren't allowed, right?

Give it to me.

How many repeated years will it take for you to understand?

I swear, Miss. I didn't cheat.

Eyes on your papers! Come on!

I'll be back in an hour, in case you have questions.

Students, turn over your papers.

What was that exam? It's all off-syllabus.

It was very hard.

- I didn't get a single question right. - Same here.

- Even the... - You! Why did you take it?

I'll do what I want. You got a problem?

I've barely held myself back all semester. Don't push me!

Why? I'm not scared.

Don't push me.

- Ew! Don't touch me! - It's okay.

Mona, shut up. Only open your mouth to eat, okay?

Show her some respect!

- No! Stop it! - I'll show you!

- I'll talk however I like! - Enough!

Ugh! I said don't touch me! BRB!

- You think you can push me, you brat? - No, please! Stop!

- You dirty animal! You brat! - No, stop! Please!

- Please! - I'll show you!

- Show respect! - Get up!

- I'll show you! - Let her go!

- Stop it, girls! - Let her go!

- Enough! - Come here! I'll show you!

Let her go!

Girls, stop!

Mona.

- Animal! - Don't!

- Stop it! - No one can save you.

- Enough! Let go of me! - Let go of her!

Girl! Stop it!

That's enough, girls!

Miss, look what she did to my face!

Miss, look at how she scratched me!

Where? I don't see it.

Would you like me to show you?

How about you continue your fight here?

- Miss, really, it wasn't my fault. - Didn't you start it?

Drop out of school and go to Bollywood. You'll kill it there!

I didn't hit you.

I was wiping dirt off your uniform. You should be thanking me.

Are you calling me dirty?

- Miss, she's possessed! - To hell with you!

Enough! Show some respect, you two!

You're lucky that it's the final exams,

or I would've expelled you.

I'll just call your mothers in.

Miss, not our moms! Please! I want to graduate!

- My mom can't come! - Get back to recess!

- Miss! - Go, or I'll bar you from the exam!

Go, you idiot.

Can I get a juice?

I'll see what works and pick.

No idea what to pick.

I usually check, then I decide.

Trust me, she was in prison.

Really? Who told you?

I heard she hit a girl in prison too.

Would you like to get hit too? Huh?

- Ms. Widad. I wanted to ask you... - Hmm?

I haven't graded the papers.

I wasn't going to ask about the exam, but...

I doubt Masha'el wanted to cheat.

Listen. I'm not supposed to give you this.

May God guide you all.

WE NEED TO TALK. IT'S URGENT.

- May I? - I don't like to smell it on others.

Maria, I got you the chemistry notes.

All right. Study it, and I'll cheat off you, okay?

You know I don't study.

Good luck, then.

Mona?

- Mona, why are you here? - Why are you here?

Wasn't ruining my friendship enough? Or are you here to gloat?

I ruined your friendship?

You must be deaf not to hear her mocking you.

The one you think was mocking me is the one who made me who I am.

The only one who helped me.

You call yourselves friends? Where were you?

You expect me to believe Maria's really your friend?

That she's not using you?

You mean I'm not worth it?

Or was our friendship supposed to be pure or something?

Mona, I'm not here to argue with you.

I just came to tell you something.

Listen if you want. If not, suit yourself.

Tell me. What have you got? Go ahead, I'm listening.

What do you want?

You know what?

It's my fault that I came to talk to you.

M... Masha'el, wait.

I want...

Listen...

Listen, to be honest, I'm...

I just want to understand...

Why did we stop talking since we came to this school?

- BRB. - Where are you going?

- To see where that vulgar girl went. - Huh?

- Later. - Who?

Mona, it's because I thought you and Hiba couldn't stand me anymore.

We have been through a lot,

but it shouldn't have come to this.

Mona, calm down. It'll all be fine.

I knew you'd be here.

What? Are you pretending to be upset?

You. Why are you following us?

Shush! No one is talking to you.

Well, Masha'el wanted to apologize to you.

Me, apologize to her? Why would I?

You will, whether you like it or not. Looks like you forgot you slapped me.

I'm here to pay you back for that slap, ape!

- I'm an ape? - Mm-hmm.

- Show some respect, got it? - Girls, stop it.

- Show respect. - Let go!

- You hear me? - Girls, stop it!

- Move! - Stop.

Come on!

- I'll show you! - Stop!

Girls, stop it!

Faster, guys!

Girls, stop it! Enough!

- Get moving, guys! - You ape!

- Girls! - I'll show you!

Let's not waste daylight!

Enough! Girls, stop it!

Don't stop!

No! Enough, girls!

Come on, girls!

Come on, darlings!

Get inside for the second exam!

Have you seen Masha'el?

- Where do-- - Hurry up, darlings!

- Has anyone seen Masha'el and Mona? - No.

- Come on! - Masha'el!

- Have you seen Mona? Masha'el! - Hey...

- Girl! Move it! - Mona!

- Move it. - Masha'el!

Hey, where are you going? Come here.

- I'm looking for... - In this rain?

I'm looking for Masha'el and Mona.

Surely they're upstairs. Come on.

Go upstairs, hurry!

Go!

The thunder praises His glory, as do the angels in awe of Him.

Auntie! Come here.

Yes, Miss?

Bless you. These girls are missing from class.

- Go look for them. - Sure.

- Thank you. - God bless you.

Girl!

What are you doing?

- Cheating, huh? - No, Miss.

Show me your hand! Let me see!

What's this?

Uh, it's my first initial and, uh, my dad's.

Your dad, huh? Your dad!

Wasn't your dad Mazen? Or now it's Hazen?

God help you.

- Miss. - Yes?

- I need to use the restroom. - Why didn't you go during recess?

Unless you have a medical condition, you'll have to wait till after the exam.

We'll wait a bit for your classmates, then we'll hand out the tests.

Ever since I left that lousy school, I've been blessed nonstop.

Hello, Um Maria. Welcome.

What's so urgent that you dragged me here in this weather?

Must be our daughters. Who else could it be?

If you don't mind, no one was talking to you.

Whoa, dear God. Like mother, like daughter.

Your daughters fought and pulled each other's hair.

And that behavior is unacceptable in my school.

"Hair"? No way.

I'm sure it was her daughter's fault.

Everything's her fault? Why? Is yours an angel?

Easy, Marzouka.

You've worked with us at the old school, and you know what girl fights can be like.

Oh, you used to be a janitor?

Ms. Siham, can I have a word?

It's urgent.

Ladies, please, let's solve your daughters' problems calmly.

Excuse me for a few minutes.

Mona, Maria, and Masha'el aren't in the exam room. I can't find them.

- How? - They're nowhere to be found!

Wash your hand.

Wash it right, or should I take you to the principal?

Anyone else here?

I don't think so.

Please, check real quick.

No, there's no one here.

What's her problem?

We're wiping off the notes she's written on her hands

instead of on exam sheets!

What's this mess?

- Dear, did you look everywhere? - Yes.

- No one there either? - No, no one.

Auntie Samra, found anyone?

- No one. - Not there either?

- Not anywhere. - Come on.

Where are we?

My leg!

My leg hurts!

It hurts!

My leg!

I think it's broken!

Guys!

Guys! Can anyone hear us?

Get us out!

Maria!

Maria.

Maria.

- Are you okay? - Where are we?

- Where are we? - You're bleeding!

Where are we?

What have you done?

You'll blame this on me too?

Get us out.

Where are we?

Girls! I'm so scared!

Where are we?

Is this sewer water?

My leg!

What happened?

Can anyone hear us?

My leg!

No, I won't be late.

Start brewing the coffee. I'm on my way.

I'm sorry.

For calling you a teenage 40-year-old.

When?

Just now.

It's true that I called you in about the fight.

But something just happened.

Can we get it over with? I have to go.

Um Maria, this is really serious.

Your daughters took off from school.

What?

We have to start the exam. We can't wait any longer.

Ow! My stomach, Miss! I need the restroom!

No bathroom until after the exam!

Ms. Widad!

Tell me you found them.

- Looks like they took off. - Took off?

How come?

- Hafsa! - Like I told you.

If I hear a peep, I'll take your papers!

They couldn't have.

Do you want me to take it?

That makes no sense, Miss!

Focus on your exam!

It's okay. Take it easy.

Can you mind your exam and leave this to the school?

I can't take this anymore! I want to get out of here!

I want to get out of here! Ugh!

You're not alone! We're all here!

If I had been alone, I wouldn't have fallen!

Blame yourself. Your meddling got you here.

Seriously, you two?

This is not the time.

Me? Trouble follows you everywhere!

Do you want me to bury you here?!

Shut up!

Fight it out when we're out of here!

Guys, help!

Help us! Can anybody hear us?

Somebody help us!

- Help! - Help us!

- Somebody help us! Help! Anybody! - Please, get us out!

Get us out of here!

Somebody!

- Get us out of here! - Can anyone hear us?

Somebody!

You haven't seen them?

Are you sure?

Check around the school and report back.

Okay.

What do you mean? They just vanished?

I said it before. This school's beneath us.

I understand how you feel, Um Maria.

But schools have rules, and we expect everyone to adhere to them.

How is this school so careless?

No staff, no principal, no guard!

The gate's always wide open for anyone to come and go as they please.

The school's not to blame for the students' recklessness.

So what now? They'll fail?

That's all you care about?

Where's my daughter?

If she's hurt, it's on you, Siham!

I said I understand, Um Maria.

But that doesn't give you the right to raise your voice.

I told you! Her daughter must've made Maria do it.

- You wouldn't believe me! - Why not the opposite?

Maria's well-raised, from a good family!

And mine's from a servant's family?

You said it, not me.

Hear that, Ms. Siham? And you want me to be calm?

If you don't like our school, here's your daughter's file, Um Maria.

Find her a school that fits your standards.

Please wait in the courtyard

until we find them or until they come back on their own.

No, you're going to slip.

You can't do it.

Stop it. You'll fall.

Stop. You'll hurt yourself.

Mona, I can't.

Girls.

Girls, can one of you climb with me?

Mona, can't you see my leg?

Mona, didn't you have my phone?

- You think it'd work after it's soaked? - The phone...

The phone! I can't find it!

What do you mean?

- Let me look for it. - Did you drop it?

- I found it! - Give it to me.

I found it!

Quick, give it to me.

It won't turn on.

Try again.

It won't!

Keep trying!

It won't!

Oh God!

- What's wrong, girls? - Nothing.

Mona, what is it? Tell me!

Tell me! What is it?

It's nothing.

Close the door, quickly.

I didn't expect this from Mona and Masha'el.

I thought they'd changed.

Are you okay?

You're lucky you didn't see how the two mothers were arguing.

Why? What happened?

No sense of responsibility whatsoever.

Just blaming each other.

Really?

I thought those girls matured after what happened.

You're right.

But Siham, they're just teens.

Who'd do this on a rainy day? It's not normal.

How long till the second exam?

Less than an hour.

Did you call Mona's father?

But he didn't answer.

I'll call her mother.

Hello?

Hello?

Um Mona?

Hello?

I can't hear you, but can you come to the school, please?

Hello--

The call dropped.

Oh God.

Oh, merciful Lord!

It'll be okay, hopefully.

ABU MASHA'EL CALLING...

You're being blamed for it too?

Whatever goes wrong, even if it's on Mars, it's our fault.

God forgive me.

For God's sake.

And he swore to divorce me on top of it!

- For God's sake. - I wouldn't worry about you.

I heard you're a matchmaker.

Tell me. How did it go with you?

I've been calling Mimi nonstop, but her line's always busy.

- You're fine with her sneaking a phone in? - As if anyone controls their daughter now.

Tell me, can you?

No, I can't.

That girl's wearing me out.

I tried beating her and grounding her.

It's not her first time.

- Not the first time? - May God guide her to the right path.

- Ms. Siham? - What do you want with her?

I'll tell her this isn't the first time! It's your daughter's fault!

Do you enjoy causing trouble that much?

You'll see. Move!

I won't! You'll snitch on my daughter?

Let go of my hand!

Miss. I don't know the answer to this question.

Sweetie, why are you crying?

We told you to study. This year's questions are tough.

But you wouldn't listen.

I don't teach hadith, but let me look.

"Fill in the blank. Falsehood leads to..."

- I'm sure Ms. Ruba wants the full hadith. - Look for Maria too.

Think about it.

Miss, I have a question too.

SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

Keep your eyes on your sheets, please.

Hiba?

What's this chaos?

Masha'el!

Mona!

You think it's okay to eat it?

That's your concern now?

I mean, if we're stuck down here too long.

For days.

- You think we'll be down here for days? - No one knows we're missing.

Speak for yourself.

My parents are definitely looking for me.

Actually, mine too.

The only one who looks for you is here.

Are you picking fights even underground?

- We're screwed anyway. - It's okay, Masha'el.

She doesn't mean it.

Besides,

she's kind.

How do you know I'm kind?

Don't push me.

Or what? You'll get out and leave me?

Masha'el was right when she said you were a leech.

I never even considered you my friend.

All you ever say is, "Mona, answer this! Mona, get that!"

"Mona, do this! Do that! Mona, do my homework!"

- "Mona, do this! Mona, do that!" - Mona, enough.

You're disgusting!

You're annoying and disgusting!

- You only-- - Mona, enough!

Any word from the security guard?

Unfortunately, he said no one's seen them.

Has your daughter done this before?

You know, Ms. Siham, girls that age influence each other.

My daughter's never misbehaved.

You're sure she had no reason to do it?

Watch what you're saying, please.

What nonsense is that?

Of course not!

It's just a question, Um Maria.

Excuse me for a moment.

Hello?

Your spoiled daughter will be the death of me.

I don't know where she's gone!

Hiba?

Ms. Hafsa, who's watching your exam room?

The janitor.

Why did you leave your exam?

- What's this? What's happened? - Girls, get back to your seats.

Back to your seats, girls.

What's going on?

What happened?

Relax, girls. Nothing's going on!

What's going on?

- My hair! - What did you call me?

Masha'el!

Mona!

Masha'el! Mona!

What are you going to do about it?

Masha'el!

No!

I'm here!

What now? You'll teach me how to behave?

- You and your daughter! - You'll...

Girls! Help me! I'm stuck on the roof!

You have no idea who you're talking to!

Girls!

Next time don't make decisions that don't concern you.

Go deal with the girls!

Come on. Girls, go back.

Everyone, back to class. There's nothing to fear.

Oh dear God...

Come on, girls, back to class! There's nothing to be afraid of!

- Come on! - Ms. Siham.

- The bathroom pipe burst. - Later!

It's fine! Back to class, all of you!

- Get off me! - Stop it, both of you! Enough!

- You were raised by janitors! - Stop it!

I'm raised better than you!

You started it!

- See? She's the one-- - Um Maria!

- She doesn't want to stop! - Enough!

- Please relax. - Let go of me!

Ms. Ruba! Collect all exam papers. We're sending the girls home.

What is it?

Shut the main valves and find where Hiba went!

Go!

DEAR TEACHER, YOU LIT UP THE WAY

What are you doing up here?

Come here, quick!

My leg!

I can't stand up.

My leg.

Easy.

I can't.

You're okay.

You're okay.

Girls. The rain is getting heavier.

We'll drown.

Hopefully, the rain will stop.

Maybe we need more water.

To lift us enough to get out.

But... but I can't swim.

Don't worry.

Don't worry. We're with you.

Abdul Nour Khalifa!

Ayman Jamal!

Instead of finding your daughters, you're causing trouble?

She started it. I didn't do anything.

See? Just like your daughters!

Abdul Nour Jamal...

Okay. We searched everywhere but found nothing.

So, unfortunately, I have to call the police.

Please, Ms. Siham, don't. You said they might come back.

Please, Ms. Siham, we can't handle that kind of scandal.

Please, no police.

Fine. We'll wait for them a bit longer.

Thank you.

Ahmed Al-Arodhi!

Come. Get in here.

What were you doing up there?

I was looking for them.

But we already did.

But, Miss...

Aside from the trouble they're in,

they're probably enjoying the rain, and you're looking for them.

No way.

No way they could've run away.

- We have an exam. I know them well. - Hiba.

As far as I know, you used to be friends.

- They'd never do anything without-- - Without what?

Without telling you?

Is that what bothers you? That you're left out?

Why won't anyone believe me?

I know my friends well.

Or do they have to end up like Amira?

Hopefully not. Believe me, no one cares more than Ms. Siham.

I've been waiting for us to make up. To be friends again like before.

Something's not right.

My driver is waiting outside.

Will your idea work?

I don't know.

What if it doesn't?

Are we going to die?

No, we're not going to die!

Stay hopeful.

Think of something else.

I wish I'd never come here.

It's your fault!

- Why did you follow me? - Mona, now's not the time.

Like we have another time?

Why did you follow me?!

I came to tell you your mother's marrying you off again!

I'm sorry I care about you!

Girls.

Girls!

Maria!

Help me!

Come here!

- Hold my hand! - I can't!

- Hold it! - Pull me!

- Maria! Give me your hand! - Pull!

- Keep holding my hand! - Mona!

Hold on! Maria!

Hiba!

Did you find them?

Do you see them with me?

- Lama. - Yes?

Did Maria say she'd run off?

No. I don't even think she'd do it.

Hiba.

Either sit quietly here or go wait for your driver outside.

Tomorrow I'll speak with your mother.

Why is everyone ignoring this?

Are you okay with the school getting flooded?

- And those girls still-- - No, we're not ignoring it.

The girls you're talking about are the whole problem.

God knows what they've been up to today.

- Don't talk about them that way. - Hiba.

Sweetie,

last year was a hard lesson for you and for us.

I'd never let it happen again.

The girls will be back. I promise you.

Now please ease my mind and go home.

Our drivers are outside, Miss. Come on, Hiba.

Thank God. I got you. Thank God!

Step away from the pit, girls. Don't sink in the water.

- Bless your heart! - It's still raining.

Mona.

Come. Come here.

Give me your hand.

Masha'el.

It's okay.

Mona.

Sit here.

Hats off to the chef.

Come with me, girls. Hurry.

What's wrong? What did they do?

We're calling their parents to pick them up.

Call him.

Hello? Dad, where are you? You're so late.

Feels like we'll die down here.

Honestly, I'd rather die...

than go home to be forced into marriage,

then get divorced and relive the same misery.

Mona, calm down.

We'll graduate, hopefully,

and... and we'll go to college and have fun.

But I don't blame my mom, honestly.

She can't force you to remarry.

I deserve it.

I ruined her life.

What do you mean?

That day...

I was taking the groceries from my dad.

What's this? You're out alone?

- It's okay, Dad-- - No, leave that. Take this.

Go inside. I'll be right there.

- Dad, let me help you with the rest. - It's okay.

- Hello. - Hi.

So, that's it? You're set on getting a divorce?

Try to fix things instead of wrecking your marriage.

Me? He married a second wife, and she's in the same building too?

Let's go, Mona.

I wish I'd kept my mouth shut!

Mona, it's okay. What's done is done.

Masha'el, I share a bedroom with ten kids now!

Mona.

You did nothing wrong.

Put yourself in your mother's shoes.

What did she gain?

What did I gain from it?

I lost my father.

And... and now, she wants to marry me off

and get rid of me.

YOUR PRESENCE HAS GRACED OUR SCHOOL

WE MOVE FORWARD WITH YOU IN LEARNING AND LOVE! HIGH SCHOOL 887

Can't live with them...

can't live without them.

I want my daughter back!

Calm down. Trust in God.

Take it easy.

- Oh God! - God will keep them safe.

Eat. Mona, eat quickly.

- We're expecting guests. - Has anyone seen my phone?

Give me your plate.

Masha'el.

I'm sorry for saying that it was your fault.

But I feel like such a mean person, even with my family.

Maybe I deserve to be down here.

If anyone deserves this, it's me.

It's my dad's prayer being answered.

You have nothing to do with it.

Coming!

Welcome, chocolate!

You're finally here? It's been a while.

Here. Now give me my money.

You want your money? Come get it.

- My money. - Come get it.

- That wasn't our deal. Let go! - Come get it.

Your mom and I knew you were hiding trouble! You're trouble!

For God's sake.

- I didn't do any-- - Shut up!

Not a word!

You brought us shame and disgrace. You're a disgrace!

- For God's sake. - Father--

I wish I'd died before seeing you like this.

I can't forget his face.

The way he wouldn't talk or listen to me. He wouldn't...

I let him down.

God put us here for a reason.

If I die, maybe they'll feel relieved.

Come on, girls. We all make mistakes.

Ahmed Ali!

Ahmed Ali!

Ahmed Ali!

That girl is so stubborn.

She made me doubt myself. I felt that maybe they're really here.

Will you stop questioning my decisions?

You saw it. We searched everywhere. Did we find them?

Where could they go? Did they fly off?

Did you double-check with her?

Just stop speculating, all of you!

How about you do my job for me?

I have it up to here. I'm done.

Siham, why are you talking like that? I've been helping you nonstop.

Well, that's your job. That's not a favor.

Why are you talking to me like this?

Don't talk to me like I'm a child!

I'm your superior! Understood?

I wish Mona and Masha'el were here to see how hard you fought for them.

Abdul Wahab Khalil!

Ayman Shakir!

Khalil Alawi!

Khalil Alawi!

Help!

Help!

Girls. Is that it? Are you going to give up?

I can't do it anymore.

This is divine punishment. We deserve it.

We should die over a few mistakes?

Girls, we're still young.

It's normal to mess up.

But that's selfish.

Seriously!

I'm not selfish.

I'm not selfish!

I didn't think it'd go this far.

And I didn't want Dad to know.

MOUZNA

- You're heading out now? - Yup.

- Aren't you worried your dad'll see you? - He won't recognize me.

Except for my bag.

HIGH SCHOOL 887 FOR GIRLS

Come on, hurry!

Easy on the door.

I've missed you.

- Actually, you know something? - What?

Sometimes I feel you're using me.

You text when you need something, then vanish.

Are you for real? You really are Mouzna, not Mazen.

Come on. Let's go.

Mazen.

Is she your mahram?

- Yes, she's my sister. Ask her. - Where's your ID?

What's your name?

Won't say your name, huh?

Hey, girl!

- Show me. - Okay, all right.

Is this her bag?

The next day, word reached school that Lama had taken off,

and the principal publicly accused her.

And you kept quiet about it?

Mom and Dad found out and stopped talking to me.

Stopped talking to her.

Lama's your friend. You never told her?

Stop it. I didn't tell you to get a lecture.

She wants a pat on the back.

And Lama still knows nothing about it?

I made a mistake. I know that I did.

And I really regret it.

Please, God, forgive me.

Masha'el! Mona! Maria! Can you hear me?

Yes! We're down here!

- Masha'el! Mona! Maria! - Yes!

Get us out!

Girls, can you hear me?

What was that childish nonsense? Huh?

What was that?

It's my fault for treating you like an adult!

What's going on in this school that you're hiding from us? Tell us!

Hiba, do you know where they are? Do you know where Masha'el is?

- Do you know where they are? - Speak up.

Do you know or not?

You're venting your issues at her now?

My decision is final!

You're expelled, effective today! Got it?

Stop it! That's enough!

You burned down an entire school. Now you'll expel her too? What's next?

What did I hear just now?

Does she mean the fire?

- Huh? - No!

It was an accident, I swear.

She didn't mean to. It was an accident.

She didn't mean to. It was a cigarette accident, I swear!

We're here!

You?

People died. Some of the girls' futures were ruined.

And me! Me? Do you see? Me!

What are you? What kind of human being are you?

Please, Auntie Marzouka! I swear she didn't mean it!

I'll be scarred forever because of you!

And you still sleep fine, don't you?

Get us out of here!

Anybody!

- Girls! - Yes!

We're here!

I swear, Auntie Marzouka, it was an accident!

- Now is not the time for this! - Ms. Siham!

Come help the girls!

Help them! Hurry!

- Hurry, Ms. Siham! - Masha'el!

Coming! I'm coming!

What is it?

Dear God, protect me! You--

Sir, you're still after me? Forget about me already!

You thought I wouldn't find you again?

I swear I dumped her that day! Let go!

Come near her again,

and it'll be your last sunrise!

Mimi!

We'll get them out, dear. We will, believe me.

- They'll drown in-- - They'll get through this.

- Please, can you hear me? - Please, God!

We need Civil Defense now!

I told you they'd get us out.

Thank God. We're getting out.

What is this?

No!

No!

It stopped raining! Stop making excuses!

Move it! Come on, man!

You too! Where were you? Come on!

How did I end up stuck with you? Hurry up!

Yikes.

Go get your Aunt Haneen, please.

Aunt Haneen!

How are you?

- Yassine! - None of your business.

I'm coming!

What?

Where's Mona?

You just remembered you have a daughter?

Get inside, woman.

That's none of your business.

Where did you let your daughter run off to?

Have you lost your mind? She's studying inside!

Well, your daughter took off from school.

- You didn't even know about it! - What?

You weren't answering your phone! Where is it?

SAHAR

TWO MISSED CALLS FROM SAHAR

ABU UDAY

Yes, Abu Uday?

Abu Rakan, come right away, please. We need you. Where are you?

What now? What did you do?

There's a big sinkhole at the neighboring school!

- We caused a big sinkhole, sir. - What are you saying?

You need to come right now! Hurry up, man!

Dispatch, we have a collapse at the site.

Three students are trapped in the sinkhole.

Out of the way, guys!

Team, do a full 360 sweep of the entire site.

Hiba, were they alive when you saw them? Were they alive or not?

- Check the integrity of the school walls. - Copy.

- Are they alive or not? - Tell us!

- Mohammed, is the harness fully ready? - Ready.

Make sure the ladder is set up correctly at the site.

Did you get anyone out?!

Have the team double-check the supports.

Check the integrity of the school walls.

Finally, we're getting out.

The thermal camera has arrived. We're...

I can't believe it.

Thermal cameras have been deployed.

Thank God!

Thank God!

Why are we standing out here? We should be in there!

Is this a fire?

Some girls fell into a sinkhole.

The sinkhole is eight meters deep.

The students are alive.

- Abu Uday, what's going on? - I don't know.

The ground collapsed, and people got hurt. Go check!

Listen. Evacuate the crew and get the equipment.

All right.

- Make sure the Red Crescent is on site. - Excuse me.

Make way, please.

The Red Crescent is on site and ready.

- No one's allowed in. - Hussam!

I'm in charge of the workers here.

- Hussam! - That's my wife. Excuse me.

Help me, Hussam! Help!

- Your daughter! - Speak up!

- Help me! - Speak!

We're now six meters deep.

They're here, girls. We're saved.

Are you okay?

Her leg is broken.

Can you stand up?

I can't move it.

- Go easy! - A student has a broken bone.

Send a splint for the left leg with the stretcher.

I'm on it.

A stretcher and a splint are on the way.

Excuse me! We just need someone to reassure us. Please.

Reassure-- We just need to know, are the girls alive or not?

They'll be fine. Please calm down, Auntie Marzouka.

The second student is injured, but she can climb the ladder.

- Are you ready to receive the students? - Copy.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Please, tell me how the girls are. I'm the principal.

Civil Defense reached them. They'll be out soon, hopefully.

Did they answer you? Are they okay? Can they hear you?

Rescue is in progress. We're doing everything we can.

Thank you.

The Red Crescent is on site and ready.

It's the workers' fault!

They're so incompetent!

- Shut your mouth, do you hear me? - What's with you? I'll smash your face!

Stop interfering, or I'll take you into custody.

Hey, Hussam!

Come on, let it go!

We need to hurry. The ground isn't stable.

How are the mothers?

They're trying. They're holding on to each other, and...

Hopefully, it'll be okay.

Forgive me. I swear I didn't mean it.

I'm glad it happened.

Feels like a weight's been lifted.

I wish I'd trusted my gut and sent them home early.

As soon as I saw the rain.

Believe me, you did the right thing.

What's done is done.

Thank God that the rest of the girls went home safe and sound at least.

Mona, come on, go.

- Can you climb up? - Go.

Mona, go.

Don't look down.

The first student is making her way up.

Hold tight.

Don't look down.

Please, step back.

Tell us something! Any update!

Hurry up. The situation is not stable.

The second student is injured, but she can climb the ladder.

We've got the first student.

- Wait. - I want to see my daughter.

Ready to receive the stretcher.

- Mona. - Copy.

- Mona! Are you okay? - Mona!

- Have you seen Maria? - Are you okay?

- Forgive me, sweetie. - Are you okay?

- Please, God! - Please, everyone.

Come on, go.

I'll go after you. Don't worry.

Come on, team. Are you ready to receive the stretcher?

Ready to receive the stretcher.

The stretcher is being lowered.

Hurry up. The situation is not stable.

Stretcher's on the ladder. Ready to pull?

- Ready. - Pull it up slowly.

Faster.

The ground isn't stable.

The Red Crescent is on site and ready.

- Please, God! - Dear Lord!

We've got the second student.

Keep it leveled.

- Masha'el! - Masha'el!

- Masha'el, sweetie! - Have you seen Maria?

Masha'el! My daughter!

Masha'el, can you hear me? Masha'el!

My daughter is in there! Just tell me she's okay! Please!

Send someone to check on her!

I want to see my daughter, please!

Attention. Evacuate the student now.

The ground is not stable.

"Say, 'He is Allah, one and indivisible. Allah the sustainer.'"

"Say, 'He is Allah, one and indivisible. Allah the sustainer.'"

Evacuate.

Evacuate immediately.

- The sinkhole is collapsing. Stay back. - What collapsed?

Come on!

Keep the parents away from the site!

We need backup now! Quickly!

Come on!

Come on, team! Hurry up!

- Maria! - Hurry up!

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!

- Maria! Can you hear us? - Maria!

CANTEEN

Thanks to your parents' prayers and your mothers' care,

SENIOR GRADUATION

your teachers and their effort, and your classmates and their support,

we've reached the first day of your transitional phase,

from school to the real world.

To the future.

We hope we've prepared you with everything you need.

Knowledge, morals,

grace,

persistence, and determination.

There's one thing you must know.

You'll make mistakes no matter your age.

No one is infallible.

What matters is learning from them and fixing them.

Not to ignore them.

Ignore them and they'll grow worse.

Always strive to be better than you were,

not better than others.

Lastly, we wish you success and joy throughout your lives.

And now, a word from our top student,

top of her class, Lama Abdul Karim.

Isn't she the one always saying, "Girls, I didn't study"?

Dear teachers,

honored mothers,

my fellow classmates,

and all attendees of our honorable ceremony.

The days we've spent together have taught us things

we could never learn from anyone except each other.

Hurry, Mom! We're really late!

Is it my graduation or yours?

I told you she'd come. She'd never miss it.

Maria!

Why are you late?

It wasn't me! It was my mom!

- How are you? - I'm fine. You?

- I'm okay. - Give me your robe.

- Hurry! - Do I look good?

- Let me see your hair. - Wait.

On this happy occasion,

I can't help but feel sad.

Lama, look. What happened was all my fault.

Lama! Lama, please, forgive me.

You said...

It means our days together are coming to an end, becoming memories.

Do you know that? It...

For the first time, I wish I wouldn't grow up,

so we could have more time together.

Come on!

Our days together taught us so much.

- No! - Things no book could've taught us.

May Allah bless this marriage, bless you,

and join you together in all goodness.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

- Congrats, son. - Hurry up, woman. Come quickly.

You're a bride!

Congratulations, Mom!

Finally, I wish each of you

a life full of joy and success,

and, of course, full of adventures.

Lama!

Girls, finally no more studying.

What? What about university?

For God's sake, Mona!

- Girl! - Let us enjoy the moment!

All of you!

Miss, are you checking for contraband even today?

Today sadness isn't allowed!
