DIVINE WIND
We don't find out much about Nour and Amine. The two young jihadi women have been assigned to the same mission: to blow up an oil refinery in the Sahara. While they prepare for the task and await the delivery of the weapons they'll need, they gradually get to know each other. Nour is gruff, disciplined, and unconditionally convinced that they will enter paradise after the attack. Armine, on the other hand, is passive and introverted. This intense situation brings the two of them together — so much so that it jeopardizes their mission.
