Rahil has divorced, but she is determined to rekindle hope. She has always found refuge in Sartre and Beauvoir and in thinking about music, philosophy and freedom, and she decides to speak to the world again and to live her freedom through playing and singing, as her mother lived hers through painting. Her mother, the French painter Rachel, chose another kind of freedom: she took her own life and left her daughter as a girl. Her father Abdallah, a withdrawn man, studied philosophy in Paris before returning to Oujda to work as a baker.
