Dania

Dania has just turned 23 years old. At her party, we do not drink alcohol and only women are invited. She introduces us to her mother, a Québécoise who converted to Islam more than 20 years ago, and then takes us to her Eritrean father’s home, where we witness the different outlooks of first and second generations. Later, she makes decisions about her life after graduation from law school.
