Slimane
Algiers, 1997. The country is in the hands of terrorist groups, seeking to establish an Islamic and archaic state. Women are particularly affected and oppressed by primitive diktas, who seek to take control of their bodies and control their passage through the public space. While a frenzied hunt for women unveiled is launched, Nedjma, a young student passionate about fashion, is determined to federate the girls of her campus to organize a fashion show braving all the forbidden.
Three guys have a discussion sitting on the ground floor of their building. Their conversation is about their best friend's trip and a strange event that is meant to take place the next day. Upstairs, Fouad packs his bags. He still doesn't know whether he'll dare to say goodbye to them or not.
