Film Synopsis
In 1975, eight-year-old Sarah lives with her Catholic foster parents in
the small Belgian town of Alsemberg. One day, her biological
father, whom she has never met before, turns up and takes her to Paris
for the weekend. It is in Morocco that Sarah wakes up, to the
sound of the call to prayer. From this moment on, her goal will
be to choose her own life, instead of having her life chosen for her by
others...
