When the disillusioned Ismaël returns from Syria, Neziha takes her son back in the house. The worried mother goes all out to help him rebuild his life in the Netherlands.
For months, Neziha has lived in fear for her son Ismaël who left for Syria. Then she receives the message that Ismaël is back; having fled Syria, he is now detained in the Netherlands. The judge allows him to await his trial, under strict conditions, home with his mother. Neziha is determined to prevent her son sneaking away a second time and she puts out all the stops to have him find his feet in society again. But the more she tries to reach him, the bigger the distance between mother and son becomes.
