Byltingin í Túnis var upphafið að arabíska vorinu – en sumarið áður útskrifaðist Farah, 18 ára, úr menntaskóla. Foreldrar hennar vilja að hún verði læknir en hún sjálf er uppteknari við að syngja í pólitískri rokkhljómsveit. Hún heldur því áfram þótt lögreglan byrji að veita henni eftirför. Farah er lífsglöð stelpa sem drekkur, finnur ástina og kannar borgina sína að nóttu til, þvert á vilja móður sinnar sem þekkir hætturnar sem leynast í Túnis alltof vel.

Myndin var framlag Túnis til Óskarsverðlaunanna sem besta erlenda mynd.

But she‘s more interested in the political rock band she fronts as the lead singer and continues to sing and rebel even as the police begin to follow her and her movements are monitored. With a passion for life she gets drunk, discovers love and her city by night against the will of her mother Hayet, who knows Tunisia and its dangers all too well.
