The events take place in the autumn of 2013, following the curfew imposed in Egypt. Faten is released from prison after serving twenty years for committing a horrific crime and is forced to spend the night at her daughter Laila’s home. Laila is unable to move past the past or forgive her mother, believing only that her mother killed her father. Meanwhile, Faten refuses entirely to reveal the reason behind the crime, placing her daughter in a conflict between her mind, which rejects her mother, and her heart, which gradually leans toward her, all while searching for a place of birth within her daughter during the curfew.
