Itto, a young woman from a middle-class family, is gradually adapting to the privileged lifestyle of her newlywed bourgeois husband and his family. But when supernatural events shake the country and a state of emergency is declared, Itto is separated from her husband and new family. As she struggles to return home, alone and pregnant, through a grueling physical and spiritual adventure, she will break free of the barriers and constraints in her mind. In her first feature film, the director uses elements of science-fiction to explore the place of women in contemporary Morocco.
