{{'SYNOPSIS' | translate}}
After suffering amnesia from an accident, Leila, a young French artist of Iraqi origin, reconstructs her history by reconnecting with her family and delving into her roots. She learns Arabic, interprets the poems of her politically exiled Iraqi father, and immerses herself in the history of the Gulf War in Iraq. An inner journey, an identity quest sublimated by her songs, bridging Europe and the Middle East.
