When Nadia Zouaoui was 19, her parents forced her to leave her Kabylie, Algeria home and enter into an arranged marriage with an Algerian man twice her age living in Montreal, Canada. He had chosen her based on a photograph.

Years later, she returned to Kabylie to see if the situation for woman there was any different. Her journey is a hellish voyage into a patriarchal culture backed by strict Muslim tradition, a society obsessed with female virginity that keeps women in servitude. The women we meet in the film have been excluded from the rest of the world, taken out of school, married off at age 12 to 15, in many cases beaten, and subjugated to the dogmas of tradition.

On her journey, Nadia depicts with clarity and intimacy the cruelty endured even to this day by so many girls and women held captive in their homes. This deeply disturbing documentary provides a gripping experience for men and women, young and old alike.
