ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The narrative centers on a family gathering where the children present their school results to their father, Malan. While Faisal and Fatima (children of the first wife, Inne) excel, the children of the second wife, Mama, perform poorly. To deflect blame, Farida (Mama’s daughter) attempts to forge her grades, leading to a violent confrontation where Malan beats her for lying.

The plot thickens as Mama employs a calculated "divide and conquer" strategy. She manipulates Malan into believing that Inne (the estranged first wife) is using "asiri" (black magic) to ruin the intelligence of her children while boosting her own. By playing the victim and feigning concern, Mama successfully turns Malan against his own high-achieving children, Faisal and Fatima. The script vividly portrays the physical and emotional abuse the stepchildren endure, including a climactic physical altercation where Faisal, pushed to his breaking point, accidentally strikes Mama while trying to defend himself, leading to a brutal retaliatory beating by his half-brothers.
