One night, while Najoua is away, Nismet has to defend herself against Denis' approaches. But to protect her mother, she says nothing. Her relationship with Denis becomes increasingly strained, and she decides to run away. In 4 episodes, she follows the path of the first years of her independent life, from the disordered rebellions of an abused adolescence to the beginnings of her adult life.
