Synopsis
Haijba and Sumia, young Moroccan girls brought illegally into France, find themselves working as “enslaved” housemaids for Moroccan families. After their "liberation", the filmmaker shares their everyday life for a year in the hostels that shelter them and in Esclavage Tolérance Zéro, an association that helps them out. An insight into the slow and painstakingly difficult rebuilding of an "identity".
