Salima, 30, is insomniac since a few years so she gets late to the marriage hall kitchen’s where she gives a hand. And this morning was even worse because there were no public transportations. The old cook berates her for bringing her daughter Nedjma with her as well. But Salima as a single mother (unmarried) has no one to
take care of her daughter. The old cook knows everything about Salima’s situation so she doesn’t insist.
