Algiers, 1997. The country is in the hands of terrorist groups that seek to establish an archaic Islamic 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 unveiled women is launched, young fashion student Nedjma is determined to federate the girls of her campus to organize a fashion show challenging all that is forbidden.
