Jessica, a 19-year-old French girl leaves her country for Syria, thinking that the humiliations of cheap labor will give way to a life of leisure in the villa showed owned by her friend’s future husband, an ISIS fighter. But in lieu of the handsome groom in the pictures, what they find in Raqqa is a locked house full of other young women from around the world. In order to survive, she becomes an assistant to the iron-fisted director, Madame, who exerts a powerful fascination over her. How far beyond the limits of her conviction will Rabia accept to go?
After studying literature, history of art and psychology, and training in contemporary dance, Mareike collaborated with choreographers in multimedia shows and made her first short films. Rabia is her feature debut.
