The Day Nina Simone Stopped Singing
Raised on Baudelaire, A Clockwork Orange, and fine Bordeaux in 1970s Lebanon, Darina Al-Joundi was encouraged by her unconventional father to defy all taboos. As the bombs fell, she lived an adolescence of excess and transgression, defying death in nightclubs. The more oppressive the country became, the more drugs and anonymous sex she had, fueling the resentment by day of the same men who would spend the night with her. As the war dies down, she begins to incur the consequences of her lifestyle. On his deathbed, her father's last wish is for his favorite song, "Sinnerman," by Nina Simone, to be played at his funeral instead of the traditional suras of the Koran. When she does just that, the results are catastrophic.

In this dramatic true story, Darina Al-Joundi is defiantly passionate about living her life as a liberated woman, even if it means leaving everyone and everything behind.

Le Jour ou? Nina Simone
a cesse? de chanter.
Le soir des fune?railles de son pe?re, Noun coupe le son des psalmodies du Coran qui accompagnent obligatoirement cette ce?re?monie. L'acte provoque un grand scandale dans sa famille. Noun de?cide de s'enfermer a? double tour avec son pe?re pour lui dire ce qu'elle a sur le coeur, lui rappeler toutes les lec?ons de liberte?s qu'il lui a donne?. Noun est libre face a? la mort, mais une simple porte la se?pare d'un monde hostile.
Au fil des e?vocations, Noun quitte le paradis perdu de son adolescence, de ses re?voltes pour se confronter a? la fin a? un monde, a? une socie?te? qui interdit a? la femme l'exercice de la parole, du re?ve et de la re?volte.
