Nathalie, about thirty, is a young and beautiful french woman native from Cameroun. Despite a good education, she is in bad straits. Obsessed by her physical appearance, she thinks this is the cause of all her problems and resolves to have a nose job. Staying in Toulouse for holidays, her mother disagrees with her choice. Mother and daughter, two generations, are not on the same wavelength. The daughter represents modern society whereas the mother perpetuates family traditions. None of them will escape unharmed because of incommunicability.
