Synopsis
JAWHARA is a six year old girl born in prison from her mother SAFIA who is imprisoned. SAID, the husband of SAFIA has doubts about the legitimacy of this birth but he would like to free up SAFIA and JAWHARA in spite of this doubt. For this, he comes into conflict with his brother HASSAN, a policeman. This conflict lasts, uses tortuous ways harboured by tricks and little schemes. Meanwhile, JAWHARA tells us her daily life in jail through her young and innocent look with its moments of pain, humiliation and sometimes happiness and above all questioning about the uncertain future. The search of SAID, SAFIA and JAWHARA leads them to a drama, on one hand and solidarity, on the other hand.
