    Synopsis

    Aishe, after losing her husband, suddenly became the sole provider for her three children. She participates in several workshops for emancipation of Muslim women and decides to pursue a career as a female plumber to ease her financial situation. WATERPROOF gives a humorous insight into the world of a plumber and her colleagues who try to stand their ground armed only with pliers and screwdrivers. They are the first femal plumbers in Jordan - one of the driest countries in the world.
