Nous, dehors
Manel, a 23 year-old woman has been wearing the veil for two years. Today, she is about to change her life and take off the hijab that is oppressing her more and more. Manel is looking into herself and struggling for assertion in the heart of a society that finds it hard to cope with these words : freedom and respect. Through her journey, we meet other women, of her age, and other generations. She tells them about her search, her doubts, the experiences she has lived and collects theirs as well as their history.
