I came as well to know why Keltoum, my mother, gave me to some Europeans. Rallia, a young woman with
Algerian origins, returns to her village to search her roots. She looks for her mother Keltoum, and the other
members of her poor family, knowing only that she works in a hotel far away. Followed like a shadow by
Nedjma, her aunt, Rallia starts an initiatory journey through a land of misery, violence and intolerance, until
she arrives to the hotel for Europeans, where a surprise is waiting of her...
