Tout juste rescapée de l’enfer de Daech, Avesta, jeune Yézidie kurde débarque à Bruxelles et n’a qu’une chose en tête : se venger de l'homme qui l'a réduite en esclavage. Entre une quête effrénée de justice qui la pousse à revenir sur les souffrances qu'elle a subies et l’obligation d’être mère d'un enfant non désiré, Avesta tente de se faire entendre, à tout prix.
Young Yazidi Kurd immigrant Avesta is seven months pregnant. Freshly escaped from the hellish underworld of ISIS, she has just one thought in mind: getting revenge on the man who forced her into slavery. When she arrives in Brussels, she locates and attacks members of his family in order to force him out of his ISIS-linked hiding and bring him before the courts. At the same time, Avesta finds sanctuary at a refugee centre in Brussels. Despite her post-traumatic mutism, she meets Yassemine, an interpreter of Kurdish origin who offers her support and tries to get her to talk. Yassemine helps Avesta take her first steps in Belgium and brings her to see Babette, a nurse in the city centre. The exam shows that her unborn baby is doing well, but horrible scars are revealed on Avesta's body.
