The year is 1969. In the magnificent landscapes of Al Ula, Saudi Arabia, a tiny mosquito named Zozo has big dreams that set her apart from her buzzing companions. While her fellow mosquitoes are content with their usual routines, Zozo yearns for something more: she dreams of becoming a singer. And not just any singer! She wants to be as famous as Um Kulthum.
