It is 1993 in Paris and Selma, 17, lives in a bourgeois neighbourhood with her modern Algerian family. Seventeen is an age when desire and curiosity take over, and Selma will gradually realise that, living in a patriarchal society, her fantasies are turned upside down by reality. Amidst her attraction to her partner Julien, the strict rules of her family, the fundamentalist shock wave and the crisis of her parents' marriage, there will be a re-connection with her home country that will show her the way to becoming the master of her sexuality and desire.

Such a typical French film that won't appeal to too many foreigners, specifically Czechs. Algeria is distant to us, the shared painful French-Algerian history is not significantly represented in history textbooks. Just like the French don't care about any Czech-Polish or Czech-Slovak relations. It's a well-made film with a charming lead actress, but it doesn't stand out or excel in any way. Hundreds of such films can be found only in France. I won't remember it in a week.
