A Minute of Silence

A prison commissioner gets an order to execute two prisoners, Amir and Adham, within two hours. A prisoner sets his bed on fire to cause a distraction to stall the execution. Brigadier Issam arrives and tells the commissioner to take pictures of them as if they are dead and set them loose.

Amir and Adham’s death is faked using two other people. Amir kills the officer who was assigned to oversee their escape after he learns that he was ordered to kill them in the forest.

Amir and Adham escape after the officer is shot. Amir’s sister learns of his execution and breaks down. The neighborhood's chief tells her that the people don’t want Amir to be buried in their village.

The authorities learn that Adham and Amir survived the execution and start looking for them. They suspect that Amir may come back to avenge his wife who cheated on him. Adham and Amir go to hide at Abu Al-Azm’s place.

Amir, Adham, and Abu Al-Azm go to a friend for fake passports. They meet the girl Samara who asks them for two million for the passports. Abu Al-Azm decides to mortgage his shop. Meanwhile, the authorities try to keep what happened at the prison under wraps.

Amir’s sister decides to leave the village. Amir goes to his house to check up on it and then goes back to Abu Al-Azm’s house. Abu Al-Azm asks Amir’s sister about their brother Ahmed and she tells him that he died.
