SYNOPSIS

At the age of nine, Wadad was already singing on the radio. Her voice was broadcast on Arab radio stations for decades. However, her Jewish roots, her conversion to Islam, her tumultuous romantic relationships, her skittish personality, her professional rivalries and the political climate all drove her without mercy towards anonymity. Portrait of a diva.
