When the imam of a small town in Southern Lebanon is diagnosed with
cancer, the illness he fears and has expected for years, he takes
the radical decision to abandon the life he inherited from his
father. He was persuaded to wear the robe and turban in his youth
to preserve the family tradition and entered into an arranged
marriage. While his grandfather and father were once powerful
imams, he displays no interest in the mosque. The wife, for whom he
feels no affection, attends to her chores and nurses his father,
now sick and bedridden, in his house. Though he worries about his
two sons, who were born deaf and mute, he takes no measures to
secure a special education for them.
