Samia, 16, of Algerian origin lives with her family in Marseille. When she first has career guidance, she wonders about her future path, torn between the North African traditions that structure her family unit and the western culture she lives in away from home. A silent teenager, she carefully observes the world around her, trying to free herself from the family rules to find her place and have her voice hear. Adapting the autobiographical novel, Ils disent que je suis une beurette, by French-Algerian author Soraya Nini, Faucon paints the luminous portrait of a teenage girl struggling to resist and determined to invent her own path.
