Storyline

During a lively student party in Tunis, a young woman named Mariam meets a mysterious man named Youssef and leaves with him for a walk along the beach. The night turns into an immediate nightmare when she is brutally assaulted and raped by three men—who turn out to be on-duty police officers. Accompanied by Youssef, Mariam spends the rest of the grueling night seeking medical care and trying to file an official report. Instead of receiving help, she is thrust into a labyrinth of institutional hostility, victim-blaming, and bureaucratic corruption, forcing her to launch a lone, courageous battle for her dignity and rights against her own tormentors.
