Jabir, Usama and Useir are three young Bosnian brothers born into a pastoral family. They grew up in the shadow of their father, Ibrahim, a strict radical Islamist preacher.

Once their father's demands and strict doctrine disappear, their lives change drastically. The brothers explore the limits of their newfound freedom on the difficult path to becoming men.
