A Middle-East family of immigrants in Europe. Moncef, the father, carries the heavy burden of banishment and the burden of “elsewhere”. To rescue his culture, to live in respect of his traditions, is for him more than a life rule, it is a way to remain faithful to his past, his origins, and above all… to himself. Every morning, Cobra, his daughter, leaves the family home. Wearing a veil. But every morning, she changes clothes in a bar, her own shelter ; before she goes to work, her hair down and her spirit free. At home, Moncef is worried ; Cobra is still single and he would like to get her married soon. In the company that employs Cobra, the young boss fell in love with her. He is ready to do anything to marry her. But Cobra wants to have a choice, just like her mother had done with her father. She won’t have time to introduce the only man for her to her parents. A friend of her father’s catches them. In the bar…
