Kijkwijzer:
Terwijl ze hun kudde in de bergen laten grazen en zelf spelen bij een waterbron, worden twee tieners door terroristen aangevallen. De zestienjarige Nizar wordt vermoord. Ashraf, die nog maar veertien is, moet zijn familie een macabere boodschap overbrengen. Een film, gebaseerd op ware gebeurtenissen, die zich richt op het trauma en de rouw die de moord teweegbrengt.
