Synopsis

A family struggles with a rare genetic disease, transmitted by women. Nagat and Fouad lose two sons because of this disease, which also causes the paralysis of their third son, Mahmoud. Fouad returns home after working abroad for some time, tormented and abusing drugs. He blames Nagat for their son’s fate, remaining obsessed with death. Meanwhile, Mariam, Nagat’s niece, takes care of her sister Laila, hiding the fact that she carries the same disease. Pregnant by a violent partner, Mariam, who self-flagellates, chooses abortion. Despite their dedication, Nagat and Mariam feel they live in disgrace. Meanwhile, they seek healing alongside Fouad. Their struggle, in pursuit of possible salvation, intersects with that of Mahmoud and Laila.
