Zakarias was raised in a religious home in Brabrand, where faith and superstition go hand in hand. When he falls in love with the imam's son, Younes, he is ostracized by his family and his religious community. They believe he is possessed by an evil spirit, a DJINN" class="css-u850" data-mark-multiple="true">djinn, who must be exorcised.
