Supported by the RFC Rawi workshop 2017
Faris, a Lebanese Muslim living in the UK, awakens to discover the corpse of his wife’s ex-boyfriend. He has the murder weapon in his hand, but Faris has no memory of killing the other man. He tries to get hold of his wife and child, but they are nowhere to be found. Faced with the choice of turning himself in for a crime he is unsure he committed or searching for his missing family, Faris decides to dispose of the body and uncover the truth before it’s too late. As rumours of his wife’s infidelity and Faris’s suspected abuse cause ripples throughout the local community, people begin to suspect Faris may have committed an honour killing. Unable to recall what really happened, Faris begins to fear that he is responsible for both a murder and the disappearance of his family.
