Developed Projects
In a Tunisia divided in two politically, between Islamists and progressives, five young women aged 28 to 38 share a modest roommate in a residential building. Coming to work in the largest city in the country, far from their family and disapproving looks, the path to freedom is punctuated by trials. Pointed out by conservatives who consider them to be girls of easy virtue, they face a rejection fueled by tough prejudices. Nevertheless, the small group of women supports and supports each other. They even welcome a new roommate: a white chihuahua, who carefully observes the lives of the residents of the house.
