Brahim, a master craftsman, is one of the wealthiest men in the region. Married to Nakla and Gamra, who have failed to bear his children, he decides to marry for a third time, hoping that a third wife will provide him with an heir before he is too old.
Forced to marry the aging Brahim, Fadah, a beautiful, healthy twenty-year-old woman joins the two other wives in a household that is cut off from the rest of the community. Only Brahim has contact with others and leaves to go to the village once a month to deliver his pottery and buy supplies.
