Four friends, four very different stories.<br /> <br />The Rooftop is set a against a quintessential Sydney background. At Darlinghurst East Public School, Emma, Maha, Simon and Talia, learn about themselves and each other through the unusual combination of Scripture class and netball.<br /> <br />As Mr. Zulman reveals the story of the Exodus to the students, they reveal their own stories to each other: Simon's parents are separated and warring with each other, Talia's dyslexia makes the classroom an everyday struggle, Maha's family is facing deportation back to war-torn Iraq, and Emma, who has lived all her life in Sydney, begins for the first time to appreciate the value of freedom.<br /> <br />Outside of class as the netball season progresses, freedom takes on a new meaning for the four students when on the very day of the netball finals, Maha and her family face the very real prospect of deportation.
