Three Arab women looking for freedom living in France are trying to get a better life. Aida, an Egyptian divorced painter, is attempting to fulfill her artistic ambitions. Amal a lebanease Journalist who suffers from her massochism, in escaping from war. And Soad, fleeing poverty from Morroco, who works in a shop & lives with the old & impotent owner. The three of them become related to each other trying to stay out of trouble.
In Paris at last they learn that freedom is inherent in the person not in a place.
