In 1990s Algeria, Nedjma is an outgoing 18-year-old with a passion for fashion design. She refuses to let the tragic events of the Algerian Civil War keep her from experiencing a normal teenage life, and continues to enjoy her nights by going out with her friend Wassila. While the social climate grows more conservative, Nedjma rejects the new bans set by radicals, and decides to fight for her independence by planning a fashion show.
