    Set in an opulent villa in Tangiers in summertime, the film unfolds over the three days of the rites of mourning dictated by Muslim custom, following the death of a prominent magnate and family patriarch, Moulay Hassan (screen legend Omar Sharif). The solemnity of the occasion is disrupted by the unexpected return of Sofia, the rebellious youngest daughter who left Morocco, against her father's wishes, seeking an acting career in the USA. Her sisters, Kenza and Miriam, rattled by her unsettling antics, come to reconsider their life choices in moments of emotional reckoning. And as their father's remains are prepared for burial, the three siblings find themselves unearthing some dramatic family secrets.
