Synopsis

Feeling a strong sense of abandonment after her mother commits suicide and her sister runs away, eighteen-year-old Saloua is constantly fighting with her father and stepmother, because of the severity of one and the mockery of the other. She finds solace - and perhaps even love - in two men, one older and unstable, the other younger and exuberant.
