On the outskirts of Paris, two young sisters are abruptly separated by the authorities and taken into foster care. Years later, still pained by the loss of her younger sister, Hansa struggles to find her place in the world – until an old friend offers her hope of belonging. Cultural and intergenerational trauma erupt in this intimate story about family love, sisterhood, and the roots of radicalisation.
