Armand and Leïla, are in love. Together they plan to go on their graduate internship to New York. But few days before their departure, Mahmoud, Leila’s big brother, comes back from his long-term stay in Pakistan, during which he has changed drastically. Wanting to reframe Leila’s life, that he judges indecent, Mahmoud decides to confine his sister and stray her from her boyfriend. How can Armand free Leila, who refuses to call the police?
For his friends, Armand has no other choice - if he wants to sneak in Leila’s apartment - he will have to wear a chador... The next day, a new woman in chador walks through Paris... Her name is Shéhérazade and she masters the Koran teachings.
But what Shéhérazade is not expecting, is that Mahmoud will fall crazy in love with this mysterious “veiled” woman.
