25-year-old Gofrahne Binous has a dream: she wants to become a politician and influence the future of her country. The path to this goal is anything but easy for the Tunisian law student, who, as a black woman, has to contend with racist and sexist discrimination. But there is one thing she will not let herself be deprived of: her immense stamina. Filmmaker Raja Amari follows Binous ahead of the 2019 national elections, in heated encounters with friend and foe, and paints a rich portrait of an inspiring personality and a society full of contradictions.
