Synopsis

Fatima, 17, the youngest of three daughters, treads carefully as she searches for her own path, struggling with her emerging desires, her attraction to women, and her devotion to her traditional family. As she begins her studies in Paris, she goes on dates, makes friends, and explores an entirely new world - all while trying to navigate the conflict within her.
