ITALIANO

Negli alloggi per la servitù del seminterrato di una grande villa, Aicha vive con la madre e la sorella maggiore. Ogni suo impulso vitale di giovane donna è represso con violenza. Le tre donne vivono segregate dal resto del mondo, il loro isolamento è volontario, nell'ossessivo rispetto della tradizione e della religione. Dalle finestre spiano la vita all'esterno. Turbata e affascinata dalla giovane coppia moderna che si è trasferita a vivere nella villa, Aicha cerca un contatto con la superficie. Ma l'incontro con il mondo reale, superato il limite che li separa, altera gli equilibri precari tra le tre donne, svela i segreti sepolti.

SUOMEKSI / FINLANDAIS

Teini-ikäinen Aicha ja hänen kolmikymppinen siskonsa Radia asuvat hylätyn kartanon kellarihuoneistossa moderniin maailmaan epäluuloisesti suhtautuvan äitinsä kanssa. Eristäytyneen perheen elämä muuttuu yllättäen, kun nuori pariskunta muuttaa kartanoon ja järjestää juhlat ystävilleen. Uudet tulokkaat kiehtovat Aichaa, ja hänen tunteidensa herääminen ajaa maanalaisen perheen kriisiin sekä uhkaa paljastaa sen järkyttävät salaisuudet. Tummasävyinen, vahvasti tulkittu draama sijoittuu nykypäivän Tunisiaan ja vie eristäytyneiden naisten tukahdutettujen tunteiden maailmaan.
