Little Fedhah and the beautiful Rebeh have a common fate: both have been taken from their families and sent to the city to work in the houses of riches; both have been entrusted to the protection of Omrane, a man about forty who guarantees their virtue and the punctual delivery of their wages to their families. Fedhah is the last deal concluded by Omrane. Without any ties of love, the little girl seeks comfort by shaping clay dolls, while Rebeh, the rebel, now a woman and aware of her charms, is ready to do anything to escape her fate.
