We travel along with these young girls of the Nile over 4 years. We watch as they set themselves free or wall themselves in, seeing their dreams evaporate. From street art to the art of living, from girl to woman, what will be their destiny? What will they choose? What will be decided for them? Where will they find freedom? What will their legacy be?   

In a remote village in southern Egypt, a group of girls revolt, forming an all-girl street theatre troupe. As aspiring actors, dancers, and singers, they confront their families and the other villagers with surprise performances. Shot over four years, The Brink of Dreams follows their journey from childhood to womanhood, dealing with the most crucial choices of their lives.
