Valentina (23) shares a room in a hostel in Paris. Her new roommate, Nadia (50), brusquely demands that she not look at her while she washes in the room’s sink. Intrigued by strange sounds, Valentina observes her and discovers a scar on her breast. Her impertinence sparks a tense conversation marked by hostility and prejudice, dividing them culturally, religiously, and linguistically.
