Film Synopsis

Lina is 17 when she arrives in Paris in the early 1990s to complete her education.  Born in Lebanon, she finds a temporary refuge with her aunt and uncle, but they get on so badly that Lina is soon looking for a new home.  Fortunately, she has found herself a friend, a fellow student, who allows her to move in with her.  She then gets herself a job and becomes the mistress of a wealthy businessman, Jean-Marc.  Lina becomes attached to her new life in France and is no hurry to return back home to Lebanon.  As well as finding a place to live, she also has the problem of getting herself a residence permit so that she can continue to stay in her adopted country.  When Jean-Marc loses interest in her, she quickly finds herself a new boyfriend, Julien, a small-time trafficker...
