Omar, the son of the miller, loves since the childhood Laila, the girl of the local landowner. In the grown-up age, Omar became a journalist promising writer. He always loves Laila, but She is promised to the other one to save her family of the bankruptcy. Their loving feelings are suffocated at once; everything separates them, the family tradition, the social classes, a society was based on the money. They tear mutually, her, because she is incapable to free itself from the guilt and from her filial duty, him by bitterness to be rejected.—Mohamed Zineddaine
