SYNOPSIS :

Kidnapped from her village in North Iraq by ISIS, just a few months after marrying Mohammed, a 25- year-old Yazidi woman named Ellan is released from captivity and returns home with a newborn child from the ISIS father.

Ellan’s family and friends are waiting outside, beating drums and playing music celebrating her and other women safe return, but her husband cannot accept the ISIS child who is a shame to the family. He orders her to kill him before people find out.

In her room, with her baby in her arms, Ellan is pushed to take life of her own child. She makes several attempts but the mother in her, the instincts and feelings that she cannot betray, destine her to find a different way out from the plight that was awaiting her.
