1998, Nalchik. A Jewish family is in trouble: the youngest son and his bride do not come home, and in the morning, a ransom note arrives. The ransom is so high that the family is forced not only to sell its small business, but also to seek help from its fellow tribesmen.
A palpable sense of dread hangs heavy in this tense drama. The film captures the suffocating pressure of a family pushed to its limits, forcing difficult choices and testing the bonds of community under duress.
