When shepherd Mohamed's son Malek returns from Syria to his native village with a young niqab-wearing wife, Reem, the family peace is shattered. After three days, the tension between father and son reaches breaking point.

Mohamed is deeply shaken and suspicious when his estranged eldest son returns home to rural Tunisia with a mysterious young wife in tow.
