Tunisia, 2015. A jihadist group attacks two young cousins shepards, and Ashraf, a 14-year-old, is obliged to deliver a macabre message back to his family. Traumatized, he has to deal with the powerlessness of his elders, abandoned by the authorities. Inspired by true events, the film portrays the wounded psyche of a child and their amazing ability to overcome traumas.
