The last shot of the film is her silent tears on the plane leaving the Middle East. This is the only thing she has done all her life. Before she succeeded, she was nothing, and after she succeeded, she didn't know how to go forward. But she was lucky because she persevered and it finally came to fruition. Only a strong will and a thin hope supported her in the process. This is the most moving part of the film, and it is also the driving force for countless forbearance people to survive.
