The story of Ghofrane and Rahma Chikhaoui, their younger sisters Eya and Tayssir and their mother Olfa, is told through remembering the events that led to the older sisters joining ISIS. Actresses Ichrak Matar and Nour Karoui play the parts of Ghofrane and Rahma, and Hend Sabry plays Olfa when memories become too distressing.
