90年代在阿尔及利亚,18岁的女大学生娜吉玛热衷于时尚设计,她不愿因阿尔及利亚内战而影响她的正常生活,白天是倡导自由平等的普通学生,晚上则和闺蜜们一起出游玩乐。但随著社会风气变得愈来愈保守,她拒绝接受国家激进派订定的新禁令,在经历一段悲剧之后,决定为这国家的种种不平等奋斗,破天荒举办阿尔及利亚史上第一场时装展。Algiers, 1997. The country is in the hands of terrorist groups, seeking to establish an Islamic and archaic state. Women are particularly affected and oppressed by primitive diktas, who seek to take control of their bodies and control their passage through the public space. While a frenzied hunt for women unveiled is launched, Nedjma, a young student passionate about fashion, is determined to federate the girls of her campus to organize a fashion show braving all the forbidden.
