Using original animation, archival footage and personal interviews, this full-length documentary portrays the multiple relationships Canadian Muslim women entertain with Islam’s place of worship, the mosque. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. In North America, a large number of converts are women.

Exploring all sides of the issue, the film examines the space – both physical and social – granted to women in mosques across the country.
