The chilling testimony of Magali Laurent, whose life changes forever the day she learns that her ex-husband has converted to radical Islam and gone to join Daesh in Syria, taking with him their three-year-old daughter, Lila.

The ordinary life of Magali Laurent is torn apart when she learns that her ex-husband, a Muslim man converted to radical Islam, has left to join the Islamic State in Syria, taking their three-year-old daughter, Lila, along with him. Terrorism, foreign soldiers in Syria, coded communications and complex legislation… Fighting for Lila’s return, Magali finds herself immersed in the daily life of the anti-terrorist services. Magali will see Lila a few times over Skype. From Syria, the little girl, her face already covered, begs her mother to come join her. In 2017, their contact is definitively cut off. A chilling account of loss, guilt, fear and hope.
