Project type: 1. Projekt
Four Muslim friends meet in the woods to pray together in peace and to chat over a cup of tea. The friendly harmony is broken when Seydi is outed and the group spirals into arguments about Islam, sin and belief, about forgiveness and punishment—as Seydi also demands that his friends carry out just punishment, so that he can step before Allah in a pure state.
