Lya, 16, lives in a housing project in the Paris suburbs with her sisters Chirine, 17, and Inès, 7. Now that Chirine is a young woman, their father no longer speaks to her. Within the family, Lya is the only one to stand up to this increasingly violent man. In Paris, Chirine meets Alex who claims to be an agent and offers to help her with a modelling career. But, thanks to Lya, Chirine realizes that she is getting caught up in a prostitution ring. Through the rebellious Lya, Chirine learns to defend herself. She then meets Simon, a top ad executive who, fascinated by her beauty, takes control of her destiny... Through their daily lives, between the suburbs and the capital, love and violence, Chirine and Lya look for their place as women in a world where humanity tries to survive. (Pyramide Distribution)
