The day after Khalid’s wedding ceremony, his elder brother (Khalil) is murdered on suspicion of betrayal. Some of the well-reputed people of the village gather together in the mosque by Abou Maher (the spice shop owner of the village) in order to make a decision on Salimeh (Khalil’s wife and murderer). Although revenge would make his three nephews orphan, it is the only thing that Khalid thinks of. About Maher believes that Salime will be acquitted if Khalil’s charge of betrayal is approved, otherwise, the retribution will be done. Such a possible sentence makes Gishu (Khalil’s daughter) wish that her father would have betrayed her mother. Nasir (barge building laborer) who has been friend with Khalil since childhood begins the investigation.
