Blending personal stories with history, religion and politics, the film reveals how social traditions, religious teachings and European colonial rule have shaped attitudes toward sexuality that continue to influence Muslim societies today. Filmed across Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and France, the journey takes viewers from Mecca and Cairo's Citadel to historic libraries, mosques and private homes.
Arabists, Islamic scholars, a Lebanese sexologist, and experts in religion, medicine and the social sciences offer diverse and often conflicting perspectives on sexuality, love and faith, reflecting the complexity and diversity of contemporary Muslim societies.
