After several years of estrangement, Myriam, a young woman of Muslim culture growing up in Marseille, renews her friendship with Eva, from a Jewish family, during the summer holidays. Together, they experience their youth outside the frameworks imposed on them. But this carefree summer begins to crack when a crisis disrupts the balance of their social and familial circle, and soon enough, their own destinies.
