Marie, an Ivorian pastor and former journalist, has lived in Tunisia for ten years. Her home becomes a refuge for Naney, a young mother seeking a better future, and Jolie, a strong-willed student carrying her family’s hopes. The arrival of a little orphan girl challenges their sense of solidarity in a tense social climate, revealing both their fragility and strength.

ಐವರಿಯನ್ ಪಾಸ್ಟರ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಮಾಜಿ ಪತ್ರಕರ್ತೆ ಮಾರಿ, ಕಳೆದ ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದ ಟುನೀಶಿಯಾದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವಳ ಮನೆ, ಉತ್ತಮ ಭವಿಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿರುವ ಯುವ ತಾಯಿ ನಾನೆಗೂ, ತನ್ನ ಕುಟುಂಬದ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊತ್ತುಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ದೃಢಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿನಿ ಜೋಲಿಗೂ ಆಶ್ರಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕವಾಗಿ ಒತ್ತಡದಾಯಕವಾದ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಒಂದು ಪುಟ್ಟ ಅನಾಥ ಬಾಲಕಿಯ ಆಗಮನವು ಅವರ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಒಗ್ಗಟ್ಟಿನ ಭಾವನೆಗೆ ಸವಾಲು ಎಸೆಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಅನುಭವಗಳ ನಡುವೆ, ಅವರ ದುರ್ಬಲತೆಯೂ ಶಕ್ತಿಯೂ ಒಂದೇ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹಿರಂಗಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತವೆ.
