In the quiet fog of the Bekaa Valley, on the border between Lebanon and Syria, someone sets fire to a truck, and with it, a spark of tension spreads through a tightly closed Bedouin community. Young Gamra is gone—maybe hiding, maybe running—and her cousin Yasser takes to the road to find her. The deeper he searches, the more he runs into ghosts, old grudges, and the slow, burning logic of revenge, until he runs over a man from a rival tribe. When he returns home, his sisters, Jawaher and Reem, are tasked with making things right. But they are not asked; they are chosen as offerings. Will their sacrifice be enough to preserve this fragile balance, or will this burning flame spread through the entire village? Presented in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.
