A coming-of-age portrait of a young Lebanese woman navigating Paris, freedom, and romantic self-discovery with a mix of hope and uncertainty.

18-year-old Lina arrives in Paris for her studies. She comes to look for what she has never found in Lebanon, her country of origin: a certain form of freedom. The survival instinct as the only baggage, she sails from one Paris to another to the rhythm of her romantic encounters.
