Paris, 1993. Selma, 17, lives in a bourgeois and secular Berber family. When she meets Julien, a provocative young man, she realis for the first time how the heavy rules of patriarchy affect her intimacy. As she faces her own fears to explore the power and dangers of her desire, her family crumbles and the terror of fundamentalism emerges in her country of origin. Selma must fight back to reclaim her body and become a free woman.

The film has won the Black Iris Award for Best Arab Feature-Length Narrative at the Amman International Film Festival-Awal Film (Second Edition). It was nominated for the New Waves Award for Best Film at Seville European Film Festival.
