The documentary follows the daily life of Amina Sboui, a human rights activist and her friends whom she hosts at her home. Their lives intersects and clashes, sometimes softly and others violently, to illustrate the path of a youth too often rejected for its non-normativity.
We discover the mysterious side of Amina Sboui (former Femen) and her daily life. Her friends of the LGBT community, who live at her home, have been rejected by their families and the society. Through out Amina, we dive into their stories: Sandra (transvestite), Ramy (gay), Ayoub (gay), Atef (gay and transvestite). Many unexpected events keep coming and caught live…
