About

It’s Eid in an apartment building that is owned and occupied by three generations of a very conservative family. When the elderly grandfather gets sick, his daughters believe that his illness is caused by bad luck brought on by a young woman who rents an apartment in the building. When the young woman comes home in the middle of the night, bringing a man up to her apartment, the family decides to punish her for her “impure” and “scandalous” ways.
