Sid Ahmed is both in love with Fatiha, whose strong-willed character gives him the support he needs, and with Nacera, who is softer, more feminine, and to whom he runs when Fatiha dominates him too visibly. Such a situation cannot go on forever, of course, and Sid Ahmed tells Nacera that he is going to break up with Fatiha. When the time came, he didn’t dare speak to Fatiha. She takes advantage of his embarrassment to tell him that she’s leaving him for someone else! Sid Ahmed ends up in hospital after a failed suicide attempt. At least this experience helps him to see things clearly and to find the woman who is waiting for him: Nacera.
