Synopsis: The story of two Sunni and Shia families that coexist in one household, where they represent a vivid example of a Bahraini family in the 1980s. The two families grow, and the children grow in them until sectarian quarrels begin among the new generation. The film highlights the importance of the rejection of sectarianism through recalling a number of incidents that have shaken the world and their impact on Bahrain such as the Iran-Iraq war and the war waged by the former Soviet Union on Afghanistan.
