Plot summary
Olfa Hamrouni is a mother of four daughters in Tunisia. Two of her older daughters, Rahma and Ghofrane Chikhaoui, become radicalized and travel to Libya, where they join Daesh fighters. Olfa speaks out publicly about what happened to her daughters and criticizes the Tunisian authorities for not stopping Rahma from leaving the country. She is also prevented from traveling to Libya to look for the girls herself. To tell the family's story on screen, a filmmaker invites professional actresses to take the parts of the missing sisters and of the men around them. Olfa and her two remaining daughters, Eya and Tayssir Chikhaoui, retell their experiences alongside the performers.
