Al Medina plot

Yusif is half Danish and half Arabic. He travels to the Middle East to the city of Medina along with his pregnant Danish wife, Sarah. Yusif wants to start a new life with his wife in his father's hometown. He is convinced that he belongs here and that happiness is ahead of him. But shortly after their arrival, Yusif is unintentionally responsible for the death of a beggar child. The people of the street beat up Sarah and Yusif. She miscarries. He is imprisoned for murder. The only thing that keeps Yusif's mind in the Arab prison is the thought of seeing Sarah again and his faith in God. But when he realizes he will have to spend the rest of his life in jail, he loses his patience, faith and hope.
