Film Synopsis
Fatima lives alone with her two daughters who could not be more
different. A rebellious teenager, 15-year old Souad is nothing
like her older sister Nesrine, who has just started studying for a
degree in medicine. Fatima still struggles with her French, which
complicates her relationship with her daughters. To give her
children the best start in life, Fatima works long and difficult hours
as a cleaner. One day, she falls down the stairs and is unable to
carry on working. As she recovers, Fatima begins to write down in
her own language what she cannot say to her daughters in French.
