Raqqa, Syria, Spring 2015. Faustine discovers the hell in which she has embarked with her 5 year-old son. In Paris, Gabriel and Adnan, two young activists, are moved by the distress of Sylvain, Faustine's husband. They agree to set up a high-risk exfiltration operation. The true story of two worlds and that of a generation.
The trio Swann Arlaud + Finnegan Oldfield + Charles Berling is excellent and reinforces a literally incredible but sad story: indeed, in this film, the character of Faustine is barely credible: she is certainly converted to the Muslim religion but without being radicalized, then the suite is somewhat far-fetched: why this mother leaves France WITH HER SON to join an evil and terrorizing country ?
