Laura H.

When Laura and her two children turn up in the desert on the edge of the caliphate proclaimed by IS, she says she escaped at the risk of her own life. Her husband Ibrahim is said to have kidnapped her to the caliphate a year ago and now she wants to return to the Netherlands. When Laura's father Eric hears that his daughter has been released, he does everything he can to get her home as soon as possible.

Laura is detained in the EBI, extra secure facility, in Vught and is only allowed to talk to her lawyer. Her father Eric struggles with trusting his daughter now that it seems that Laura has lied. Then Laura is confronted with an old text message from her husband, in which her plans for an attack suddenly seem very concrete. At the time, Ibrahim and Laura were more in love than ever, until Ibrahim discovered that Laura was hiding a history full of men from him. Out of fear of losing him, Laura decided to reject her family even further and surrender to the will of the radicalizing Ibrahim.
