In the turbulent aftermath of the Tunisian Jasmine Revolution, a young undocumented woman named Samia flees her homeland for France, haunted by the fear of being chased by her radicalized brother.


Director Raja Amari delivers a complex, contemporary story of survival as Samia navigates her new reality—braving the dangerous crossing, finding work with an elegant, wealthy employer, and becoming enmeshed in a web of sexual and emotional tension.


This powerful, intimate look at determination, desire, and the anxiety of the undocumented transcends simple immigration narratives, but its complex themes led to its commercial suppression: the film was ban from being listed or sold on Amazon in the USA.
