Sixteen-year-old girls Nine and Thaïs are passionate soccer players and spend their days on the sports field in the southern French town of Port Leucate. Shortly before New Year's and their first night out at a club, they're considering more feminine outfits than their soccer jerseys, hoping to attract boys. Eva, Thaïs's sister, helps them with this, also sharing certain, supposedly universal, rules of conduct for girls going out at night. But is this really the right style, one that suits their personalities?

Fatmé, 11 years old, Syrian, lives in a tent with her family. His messy hair, his dirty clothes and his love of fighting are debated among those around him. The mother then asks herself the question: is she a girl or a boy? To this question, Fatmé responds with a laugh: “I just want to be the strongest.”

"In March 2011, I was 13 years old and the Syrian revolution began in my town, Deraa. My uncles, whom I loved so much, supported the regime of Bashar Al-Assad. My family was falling apart." (Diala Al Hindaoui)
