In an ordinary home in Algeria, Yamina, Nabila and Imen are regularly beaten up by their brother Tarek. Their mother witnesses the violence without doing anything to stop the tragic abuse her children are subjected to.

Three sisters, a brother and their mother: these are the protagonists of Khouya, a chamber piece that unfolds in a typical Algerian home. The brother beats his sisters, and their mother lets him. When one of the sisters refuses an arranged marriage, the violence gets to a point of no return…
