Fatima is 17 and the youngest daughter of a French-Algerian family living in the suburbs of Paris. But after being admitted to a prestigious philosophy university in the city centre, she discovers a whole new world. Along come difficult questions about identity, duty, and the meaning of emancipation. Torn between the traditions she grew up with and her own intimate desires, Fatima must find her own path.
