Former martial artist Sarah leaves Austria to train three sisters from a wealthy family in the Middle East. What sounds initially like a dream job soon becomes unsettling: the young women are cut off from the outside world and under constant surveillance. Sport doesn’t seem to interest them. So why has Sarah been hired?

ಮಾಜಿ ಸಮರ ಕಲಾವಿದೆ ಸಾರಾ, ಮಧ್ಯಪ್ರಾಚ್ಯದ ಅತಿ ಶ್ರೀಮಂತ ಕುಟುಂಬದ ಮೂವರು ಸಹೋದರಿಯರಿಗೆ ತರಬೇತಿ ನೀಡುವ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ಆಸ್ಟ್ರಿಯಾದಿಂದ ಹೊರಡುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಆರಂಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೊಂದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಕೆಲಸ ಎಂದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಸಾರಾಗೆ ಭ್ರಮನಿರಸನವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಯುವತಿಯರು ಹೊರಜಗತ್ತಿನಿಂದ ದೂರ ಉಳಿದಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ ಅವರು ತೀವ್ರ ನಿಗಾದಲ್ಲಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಕ್ರೀಡೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಆ ಮೂವರಿಗೂ ಯಾವ ಆಸಕ್ತಿಯೂ ಇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ಸಾರಾಳನ್ನು ನೇಮಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದಾದರೂ ಏಕೆ?
