Synopsis:
Inshallah dimanche is an immigrant story of a woman struggling against old world traditions. Zouina tearfully leaves Algiers with her three children to join her husband in France, where he's been living for the past ten years. In a land and culture foreign to her, Zouina is at the mercy of her mother-in-law and her husband's distrustful bitterness. The radio is her only window on life and on the women of this new country. But Zouina’s finally begins to feel a sense of acceptance when she meets a cosmetics factory worker who sparks in Zouina an interest in French culture and her new world.
