Bouchra, a 35-year-old lesbian Moroccan canid, spends her days working as a dedicated filmmaker within the bustling environment of Brooklyn, New York City. Despite her professional drive, she finds herself struggling with a significant period of creative drought, leaving her feeling stalled in both her art and her personal life. In an attempt to break through this stagnation, Meriem Bennani portrays Bouchra as she embarks on a deeply personal journey of self-discovery. This exploration focuses heavily on her own sexual identity, which she channels into the creation of a semi-autobiographical film set in Morocco. Within the narrative of this film-within-a-film, Bouchra’s character navigates a romantic affair with another woman while simultaneously managing the complex dynamics of her extended family.
