Je Porte le Voile plot

Natasha Ivisic is originally Catholic, but she converted to Islam when she married her Moroccan husband. She has been wearing a headscarf ever since, which is also a hot issue in her hometown of Quebec. Natasha examines her complex relationship to wearing the headscarf. She talks to other Muslim women and girls and to her (Catholic) parents, who preferred to see their Natasha without a headscarf. And she wonders how she should behave towards her own daughter, who she hopes will also choose to wear the headscarf when she's ready.
