Les sandales blanches

It all begins in the early 60s in a slum just outside Paris inhabited by Algerian immigrants Malika is 5 and her mum has just bought her a brandnew pair of sandals Theyre so white that the little girl cant keep her eyes off them and doesnt see the reversing truck Then begin years of hospital operations suffering and struggle Years far from her family during which the little Muslim girl in the hands of Catholic nurses and nuns discovers music and singing at mass From that point on fighting the racism of French society as well as the enduring prejudices of her own community Malika follows her dream and moves mountains to become the woman everyone will one day call the diva of the ghetto
