Surrounded by her friends and family, Fara contributes as best she can to organizing the wedding of her sister Safia and her groom Maxime. Meanwhile, their grandmother Rania refuses to leave the kitchen to join the ceremony. Fara is ready to do whatever it takes to avoid a family drama.
Though Maxime has fully embraced his newfound spiritual path since the wedding, Safia is extremely angry at her sister. Fara knows she’d better fix the damage she did if she intends to return to the family home. But this could prove a bigger task than she can face, especially in the middle of Ramadan, which she has decided to observe properly for once.
Things are getting serious between Nassim and Cherifa, causing Fara to grow increasingly jealous. Mariam urges her to reveal her feelings to Nassim because she risks losing whatever chances she still has. But first, she needs to stop by the junkyard with Damien to pick up what’s left of her food truck.
Fara is hesitant to join her group of friends for the France-Algeria match in the evening. The event reminds her of how her mother Najet, shown as a young woman in 1975, met her father Kader. It’s an opportunity to dig into the past and better grasp what’s gone wrong with the present.
In the middle of the night, Damien discovers Rania lying on the kitchen floor. Her stay in the hospital with everyone coming to visit becomes a chance for them to finally settle their scores. For Fara, it’s the moment of truth that spurs her decision to set out in search of her estranged father.
Fara and Safia are in Oran, with two days to find a replacement for Rania’s traditional bread-baking dish. Fara uses this time to get to better know her Algerian family and the country, which irks Safia, who can’t wait to get on the next plane back. But things take a turn when they meet Aris, who becomes their local guide.
Safia has convinced Fara to drive through the region of Kabylia with Aris, who promises that it’s where they'll find a baking dish like Rania’s old one. Though the landscapes are stunning, Safia is flustered by their Kabyle guide. But what exactly are his intentions for the two sisters?
Fara and Safia are already in a sorry state when they land in France and are immediately faced with Rania’s funeral. The entire family is gathered in the Alaoui home, where Fara finds herself at the center of all the tension. In honor of her grandmother, she'll have to take charge for the first time in her life.
Just when Fara has hit the roads of France with her food truck, she's called back by her family to deal with her grandmother's inheritance, only to find that neither Safia nor Najet are being totally honest about certain personal issues. And it looks like Rania too has some dark secret she's hiding. Then again, when it comes to honesty, Fara isn't exactly a role model either.
While Damien is busy registering the food truck with the local council, Fara is being pressured by Nassim, eager to carry out his food court project in Dubai. On her way to Safia and Maxime's gender party, she faces the choice of her life. And when the baby's gender is revealed, Fara could be more shaken than she expected.
Damien has decided to take off, leaving Fara and Nassim free to pursue their romance. As Maxime makes gaffe after gaffe, he discovers that Safia cheated on him in Algeria. He needs to take a step back and decides to volunteer distributing food to the needy, with Fara by his side. This gives her a chance to face her past mistakes and decide on her future.
The family searches frantically for Rania's gold coins. An extremely pregnant Safia decides to set off with Nassim and Fara in pursuit of the van that removed all of Rania's furniture. The journey could help the couple's marriage, just as it could drive the two even further apart.
Nassim and Fara are surprised to discover that Rania's flat in Alicante is occupied by an unknown couple, a situation that hardly helps them in their plans and that plunges Fara into the depths of her subconscious. The family finally discovers what is hidden in Rania's furniture.
Safia has finally arrived in Alicante where she decides to give it her all, at the risk of losing everything. Just as Safia is about to give birth, the two sisters discover that their parents' past isn't quite what they thought it was. Fara, who has managed to bring her entire family together, can no longer escape from the choices that stand before her.
