Summary :
The daughter of Algerian immigrants, Amaria grew up and went to school in France, and she must now return to her parents’ homeland to marry a man she barely knows and doesn’t love. As she leaves this country where she grew up and studied, she also leaves her parents and friends from high school, one of which she is in love with. The school year comes to an end. Her future is somewhere else. Although the film was inspired by a real situation, it unfolds like a fiction film in that it takes us to a third land, the land of dreams and hopes, where everyhting finally works out for everyone. Reality, however, is stubborn, and Amaria will be forced to leave and do her duty to the end. (Christian DELOEUIL)
