However, things soon begin not to go according to her plans and, amidst accounts and organizational complexities, she is immediately faced with the difficulties of the job. In order to relaunch herself, Cathy reluctantly accepts a job as an employee in a remote location outside the city, in what she later discovers is the cafeteria of a shelter for young migrants. Initially she is unconvinced and not at all enthusiastic about this new job, but before long, thanks to her extraordinary skills and passion for cooking, she will begin to be loved by the boys, her new colleagues and her new friends, who in turn will also have much to teach her.

Houria, a young and talented dancer, suffers a violent assault that rips away her voice along with her dream of a career in dance. It is only thanks to the support of a group of women who have gone through similar experiences to hers that she will be able to learn to get back on her feet and will find, precisely in dance, a new way of expressing herself, a silent cry of freedom capable of rising powerfully to the sky. And strike straight to the heart.
