Synopsis

After the death of her husband, the widow Lilia's (Hiam Abbass) life revolves solely around her teenage daughter Salma (Hend El Fahem). Whilst looking for Salma late one night, Lilia's transformation begins when she becomes suspicious of her teenage daughter engaging in a secret relationship with Chokri (Maher Kamoun), a darbouka drummer in Salma's dance class. To find out more, Lilia decides to follow Chokri one day. On her escapade, she follows him into his second workplace, a cabaret club. After overcoming her initial shock, Lilia becomes drawn towards the dancers and drum music. The women are very different from Lilia as they wear colourful clothing, show their midriffs, and dance sensually to the drumbeat. After befriending the lead dancer, Folla (Monia Hichri), Lilia is convinced to start dancing in the cabaret club. While Lilia begins dancing nightly, she simultaneously begins a romantic relationship with Chokri, who is still unaware that Lilia is Salma's mother. When Chokri ends his affair with Lilia, she is heartbroken. She later finds out it is because Salma has asked Chokri to meet her and Chokri, realizing his relationship with Salma is getting serious.[6]
