Men control women over there, in the Middle East. Control every aspect of their lives. And, when they displease their masters, men control the women's punishment. Falsely accused of adultery by her slovenly husband, a young wife is shamed in her own bedroom, then taken out to the town square and forced to watch the very public whipping of another woman who has been accused of adultery. Still shaken and nauseous at what she has witnessed, she's glad to return home – but then must face her own unwarranted and painful punishment.
