After a terrorist church bombing in Tanta, the body of an employee at Al Pasha Women’s Beauty Centre, Nadia, is discovered. The center owner, Nour Al Pasha, and female workers are in trouble about the need to cover up the incident, which is mostly a suicide, in order to preserve the center’s reputation amidst intense competition. While Al Pasha tries to obtain a burial permit unofficially and illegally, the workers get involved in trying to find a way to wash Nadia for burial secretly. Nevertheless, they face multiple successive difficulties. Hence, each one of them recalls her relationship with Nadia. They confront their realities and actions, as well as what Al Pasha represents in their extremely harsh and unpredictable lives.
