This film based on the biblical story of the prodigal son includes two main female characters in Damascus (Samarra, a pagan priestess, and Yasmin, her young priestess protégé, still a child) who have several conversations about their duties, lives, and rituals at the temple of Baal and Astarte. In one conversation, Yasmin shares memories of her mother (a past priestess) being buried alive for straying from her role as goddess.
