Selma flees war-torn Syria, leaving behind her 8-year-old son, Rami, and her husband, Iyad, who vanished in the regime's prisons. After a dangerous journey, she arrives in Bordeaux and takes on a series of undeclared jobs to survive.

But her real fight begins as she battles for asylum and the chance to reunite with her son.

Amidst the struggle, she meets Jérôme, a lawyer whom she convinces to help her. Soon they begin a relationship that will change everything. As Selma slowly rebuilds her life and rediscovers herself, her love for Jérôme also raises difficult questions about her past, especially when Iyad unexpectedly returns...
