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 female plumbers in Jordan – one of the driest countries in the world.

La storia di tre donne – Khawla, Aisha e Rehab – che rompono le convenzioni e decidono di diventare idraulico, diventando vere e proprie manager in un paese dove la condizione femminile è ancora arretrata e oppressa.
