Rafea: Solar Mama plot

Rafea is the second wife of her Bedouin husband, and lives with him and her four children in a tent. She is then selected to train in India as a solar energy technician. Together with a group of equally uneducated women from poor communities around the world, she embarks on a six-month course that will change her life. These women turn out to be (almost) everyone's hope for the future.
