Four Muslim friends meet in the forest to pray together and to talk in peace. The harmony gets broken by the coming out of Seydi and the circle gets in an endless spiral of contention; about Islam, sin and belief, forgiveness and punishment. Because Seydi wants the just punishment for his sin, so he is sinless before Allah.
