The film tells the story of four fictional characters played by a single actress wearing a veil,[ but clad in a see-through chador, her naked body painted with verses from the Quran. The characters are Muslim women who have been abused in various ways. The film contains monologues of these women and dramatically highlights three verses of the Quran, that authorize mistreatment of women, by showing them painted on women’s bodies. On November 2, 2004, Theo van Gogh was assassinated in public by Mohammed Bouyeri, Dutch-Moroccan Muslim with a Dutch passport. A letter, stabbed through and affixed to the body by a dagger, linked the murder to Van Gogh's film and his views regarding Islam. It was addressed to Ayaan Hirsi Ali and called for a jihad against kafir (Kafir refers to somebody who veils the truth) against America, Europe, and the Netherlands.
