Aya is almost thirty years old and lives with her parents in a small village in southern Tunisia, trapped in her comfort zone that stops any dream of escape. After a minivan accident, in which she is the only survivor, she realizes that this tragedy could be her chance. She pretends to be dead, flees to Tunis, and starts a new life, finally free and invisible. Fate puts her in danger when she witnesses police abuse. She risks being discovered, but perhaps for the first time, she is ready to fight. Aicha is a Pirandellian story of escape, courage, and rebirth. A race toward freedom in a world that does not forgive mistakes.
