Juarish is a closed neighbourhood in the Israeli city of Ramle, where young girls grow up in fear of one day being the victims of honour crimes. This fear is sealed by a code of silence: no one talks about these murders, and no one has ever pressed charges. But this status quo is upset when the body of a murdered young women is found at the bottom of a well... A true story narrated by a 15-year-old girl.
