“We’re very sorry, the letter says
In the current climate
It is dangerous
It is best not to attract attention. “

Paris, 2015, Mira and Malik are about to go through the annual hazing ritual at their university.

Mira is Jewish, Malik is Muslim and they’re falling in love.

When the hazing escalates into violence, they’re forced to take on roles that will irrevocably alter the course of their lives.

Will their budding romance survive?
Who is to blame?
Will they be able to pursue their dreams?
