Kais is a tour guide leader from Sana'a, the Yemeni capital, struggling to make ends meet. He is philosophical, articulate and reflective but as the story begins, he is cynical about the undercurrents of dissent in the country and supportive of the President. When one of his tours is cut short due to increased danger for tourists, he returns to Sana'a to find two permanent camps in the city centre: one for the President and one against. Kais refuses at first to enter the anti-president camp, but is convinced by the filmmaker to have a look one night.

"The great thing about Sean's films is that he champions the characters in his documentaries: he always takes a loser and makes them a winner", writes documentary legend D.A. Pennebaker. Celebrated as one of Britain's top documentary film-makers, Sean McAllister has developed a taste for finding stories in countries convulsed by violent revolutions. Human encounters are crucial for his type of cinema. Possibly more than any other film-maker active today, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to earn the trust of his characters and to get close to their private lives – close enough to learn their back stories, gain access to what is really happening with them, and see through them the larger stories of their countries and nations.
