About the Film
Algeria, 1990s. Nedjma (Lyna Khoudri starring in Wes Anderson’s upcoming The French Dispatch), an 18 year-old student passionate about fashion design refuses to let the tragic events of the Algerian Civil War to keep her from experiencing a normal life and going out at night with her friend Wassila. As the social climate becomes more conservative, she rejects the new bans set by the radicals and decides to fight for her freedom and independence by putting on a fashion show.
