As wedding festivities get underway in a Bedouin village in Israel, Jalila finds herself in the awkward position of hosting her husband`s marriage to a second, much younger wife. During the celebration, Jalila stumbles across her eldest daughter Layla`s involvement with a boy from her university —a strictly forbidden liaison that would shame the family. Jalila tries to contain Layla`s situation by clamping down on her, but Layla sees a different life for herself.
