Documentary following six people as they undertake a four-week Islamic retreat in the hills of southern Spain. In their first week, they struggle to adapt to the demanding routine.

In the summer of 2006 Abdullah Trevathan, a Muslim teacher, invited three men and three women (some Muslim, others not), to spend four weeks exploring their spirituality at an Islamic retreat in the hills of southern Spain. In their first week, the new arrivals struggle to adapt to the retreat's demanding routine. As well as regular periods of silent contemplation and spiritually uplifting work on the land, the group must also attend the five daily prayers that begin before sunrise.
