简介：A family portrait in a village somewhere in the Somali desert. Mamargade, a single father of one son, who makes his living by burying the deceased, is the anchor to lead through the world this film explores. Due to his special professional and family position, he is intertwined with corners of Somali culture and society. With him lives his sister, Araweelo, who after an unsolvable marital dispute sought refuge with him. The core problem of her marriage, her infertility and her position as a woman in the marriage (and also in Somali society) is revealed in the resulting divorce proceedings. In the middle of this is the son of Mamargade, Cigaal whose potential is being ignored by the circumstances we see evolving around him. We will see all of that through the intimate and fragile perspective of the newly assembled family, in which the brother and sister trust each other but unintentionally have to live together. In the end it is also the fate of Somalia itself, that's involved in all the small and big problems of this family.
