Égypte, 2013. Le président égyptien Mohamed Morsi, membre des frères musulmans et démocratiquement élu un an auparavant (après la révolution du printemps arabe de 2011), est renversé par l'armée au lendemain d'une manifestation massive contre le pouvoir et les frères musulmans. Le film prend place pendant les contre-manifestations de soutien au président déchu et aux frères musulmans, réprimées par la police. L'action se déroule dans un fourgon de police où sont internés pendant une journée des citoyens de toute tendance politique : des citoyens soutenant la police arrêtés par erreur, et des frères musulmans ou sympathisants. Des affrontements violents se déroulent dans ce huis clos (d'où le titre du film), révélant petit à petit des personnalités moins caricaturales.

This documentary follows in the tracks of teenage girls living on the streets of Cairo, Egypt, a universe of violence, but also of freedom. These girls own a surprising strength, mixing necessary laughter with the toughness needed to survive day after day. Their existence, their lives and the codes they follow challenge the social model. Their days are sown with threats; sometimes it is the police and their raids, other times, the kidnappings carried out by their street fellows as well as the fights that sometimes get out of hand. Yet, through their dances, laughter and acrobatics these women and mothers offer us a glimpse which reminds us that they are still children.
