Mina is a Berber woman left to rot in prison for 25 years. Once she left, she returned to the country, accompanied by a young bus driver. Find the daughter Hala, who became the head of the community of women dedicated to prostitution to survive. That said tough laws: not allow children to a future in a community marked by shame. But perhaps the most life offers glimpses of hope.
