In the mid-1950s, Tangier was still an international concession. But the time of independence and reunification of the country is approaching. On the advice of her entourage, Aïcha uses magical practices to prevent her husband from taking a second, younger wife. The clandestine resistance of women, her family and her allied neighbors has crystallized around her. Aïcha tears off her veil as a sign of revolt. During a final ritual by the ocean, she drowns. This film deals with the situation of women, the relationship to magic, but also with childhood, the relationship with the father and the austerity of education.
