Gaith and his only daughter, Salma, live in a remote village. One day, two strange children, Nagham and Sabah, arrive claiming that Gaith, their grandfather, has abandoned them. They start spreading rumors that are believed by the simple villagers. Only Gaith and Salma know the truth but keep it hidden to find the children’s family and return them safely. Meanwhile, the poor villagers live on rumors that carry hopes and dreams of a possible improvement in their lives and problems. During the two days that the children spend at Gaith’s house, intriguing events occur in the village, and many things change.
