What it is about

In a Bedouin village on the Lebanon–Syria border, a burned truck sets off a hunt for Gamra, blamed for burning her lover’s car. As her cousin searches for her, he accidentally kills a man from a rival clan, sparking a blood feud. His sisters are traded for peace. Will their sacrifice end the violence, or ignite a war across the village?
