Tangier: a tragic event in a humble family. Saïda was raped. Amine, her teenage brother, and Kenza her big sister, know that the rapist is Hicham, whose father Hamid Boussif, a notorious lawyer in the city that Kenza works for as a maid, plans to run for the elections. The latter, knowing what his son did and afraid of failing the elections, threatens Kenza indirectly by blackmailing her, in case she would try anything… So the two sisters remain shut away in their forced silence. Amine, however, ponders on his revenge, while braiding silk threads to make a long cord…
