Friendship is sometimes stronger than family ties. This seems to be the case in the relationship of three best friends, Amina, Djeneba, and Zineba. They are like one body and fight for each other in a world where the cards aren't always dealt equally. The strength of their bond is jeopardized when Amina posts a video on social media without the others' consent, showing Zineba being sexually harassed. With this decision, Amina sets off a barrage of verbal and physical attacks that the girls must face. The worst happens – the breakup of their girl tribe. Unspoken words about class and racial differences come to light. All three will have to deal with the consequences of Amina's fight for women's rights, but this time, each one alone.
