But Zahia has to fight hard to find her way into the profession dominated by well-off white men: It is the mid-1990s, she is a woman, has Algerian roots and comes from the underprivileged Paris suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis. With determination, passion and courage, Zahia and her sister throw themselves into an incredible project - they found their own orchestra Divertimento.
