18 + 107 mins

Seventeen-year-old Fatima (Nadia Melliti) is the youngest – and quietest – of three sisters in a vibrant, suburban French-Algerian home: a daughter devoted to football, family and study, with an approved Muslim boyfriend by her side who she keeps distant.

When she begins studying philosophy in Paris, however, she starts dating women, including the charismatic but troubled Ji-Na (Ji-Min Park)

She embarks on a journey of self-discovery which she has to balance with her traditional upbringing and is conflicted as she contemplates how her desires and faith could possibly be reconciled.
