Two mentally ill women who are clearly suffering from not otherwise specified delusional disorders, a mother and a (grown) daughter, live together in a secluded mansion. They are in a relationship and both are recognised for their beauty. They spend their days playing perverse BDSM-related incestuous games in memory of their sadistic patriarch who, when he was still alive, raped his daughter when she was eleven, murdered several servants, and is now a mummified corpse with which the daughter is shown having sex. They occasionally kill their servants and bury their bodies in the garden.

Comment être une femme moderne dans un monde qui veut l'être mais qui ne l'est pas encore ? Comment être une femme arabe libre dans un monde où le seul projet qui compte pour une femme est le mariage, ce contrat social qui laisse peu de place à l'individu, à ses choix et à son épanouissement. Comment être une femme arabe ayant un projet de vie et s'entêter à le réaliser dans un univers où l'ordre de la famille est incontournable. Amina, Aïda et Fatiha sont trois femmes de 35 ans environ qui ont fait des études et qui ont découvert la liberté. Leurs trois projets de vie feront naufrage dans l'océan des hommes.
