Synopsis
Aicha, a Tunisian mother gifted with prophetic dreams, lives in a rural farm with her husband Brahim and three sons. Aicha and Brahim’s lives are completely changed after the departure of their eldest sons. Mehdi and Amine, to the violent embrace of war. Having lived their lives solely for their children, Aicha and Brahim find themselves groundless and trying to make sense of a painful new reality.
A few months later, Mehdi returns home with a pregnant wife named Reem. Reem’s niqab and silence deeply unsettles Brahim. Aicha, on the other hand, welcomes Mehdi and Reem into the home and vows to protect them at all cost.
Mehdi’s return triggers strange happenings in the village. Aicha is so consumed with protecting her son that she barely notices the rising fear in the community. Aicha must face the limits of her maternal love in order to end the growing darkness.
