Betty has come to the Middle East with her daughter and native-born husband(Alfred Molina, Spider-Man 2, Species) for a visit with his family. But soon the horrible truth about their vacation surfaces. Betty's husband doesn't intend to bring his family back to America...ever. She may return, he says, but their daughter must stay. And he has centuries of local custom and the oppressive might of a police state behind him. As a stranger in a foreign land, Betty has no money, no friends and no rights. But she does have an unconquerable will. In a hostile, war-torn country, where even the slightest misstep can mean death, she makes a desperate bid to escape with her child. Her story, her courage and her ultimate triumph are unforgettable. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

The main advantage of the film is the strong, emotionally intense story that has the potential to captivate primarily female audience - and of course me, a hopeless sensitive soul. Accusations of emotional manipulation are not appropriate this time, because the script faithfully reflects the literary source and it in turn portrays the cultural gap between Western modernity and the environment shaped by Islamic law - Sharia and local traditions. In that world, children automatically belong to the father after their parents' divorce... The described story is not exceptional at all, on the contrary, it reflects the experience of many women who married into areas dominated by conservative Islamic ideology. The film adaptation and the acting performances are standard, meaning they do not deviate from the average. Overall impression is 70%.
