The film tells four stories that are intertwined, tragic and sometimes comical. Some Muslims, both men and women, trying to satisfy their desires and love life without breaking their religious rules. The newlyweds Batoul and Mokhtar bicker constantly and threatens a divorce by the possessive jealousy Mokhtar. The neighbours depleted Awatah trying to find a second wife in order to meet the constant demands of her husband Salim. Their precocious daughters come with their own wild theory about the birds and the bees. Loubna meanwhile, is hoping a divorcee and emerging fashion designer, a second chance with her first love, the grocer Abu Ahmad, through a scandalous secret regarding marriage.
