Synopsis

Maya is living the ultimate fashionistas dream: she is working as a stylist for one of the French trend setters, in the capital of haute-couture: Paris. One of the IT girls of fashion, she's following her dreams until one night, when her life takes a sudden turn: she's being deported back to Morocco, after being stopped for over speeding, because her Visa expired some time ago. So in no more than 24 hours, she's deported back to her family and original country. The strong cultural shock and the judgmental differences are pushing the woman to obtain back her place in the city of dreams and her dreams, no matter the costs. But that doesn't mean she will have to return alone, as she finds other things also among her way back to the city.

Critics' reviews

"A keenly observed though rather conventional cross-cultural comedy."

Jordan Mintzer: The Hollywood Reporter
