1972, le sud de la France, en pleine forêt, une famille aux maigres bagages découvre le nouveau camp où elle va vivre. Malgré le paternalisme affiché du chef de camps, les harkis ont la vie dure et aucune liberté réelle. Une vie de misère et de tutelle que Leila, la fille aînée des Benamar, refuse. Elle a l'âge de la révolte, celles du premier amour aussi. Pour elle, son père, marqué par la guerre et l'exil, habitué à plier, ne doit rien aux Français qui ne les ont pas protégés en Algérie...
