A portrait of Fadma, a Moroccan woman recruited by the French army as a sex worker to accompany Moroccan soldiers during the Indochina War, the film reveals how the French colonial army used sexuality as a colonialist weapon. Today, Fadma is asking France to acknowledge her, just as it acknowledges former soldiers, asserting loud and clear her contribution to the war effort.
