Lifelong friends Amina, Djeneba, and Zineb have always navigated their differences in class and background with unwavering solidarity. But when Zineb becomes the target of harassment by her brother’s closest friend, Amina intervenes, sharing a compromising video on social media in an attempt to protect her. What begins as an impulsive act of justice soon sets off unforeseen consequences, placing Amina in danger and testing the strength of their friendship. This nuanced portrait of loyalty, resistance, and the risks of speaking out explores the fragile balance between female solidarity and survival in a world where silence is often expected.
