miserable, miserable, miserable

Kabylia's character, like fate, brought herself the dilemma of having nothing. She wanted to escape the bottom of life and get rid of her unbearable career. She didn't meet one and love the other, she just wanted to seize every opportunity to make a comeback. She is always full of energy and joy in every relationship, she is pure, kind, and she is just looking for that little light. But it is because of her urgency and simplicity that she has become cheap in the eyes of men, a woman like a follower, and an ordinary commodity that can be discarded (this phenomenon is in today's material enslaved and urbanized people. There is simply not too much in a rapidly developing society). Her flattering gestures and active words and deeds at the male movie star's house, bragging about her experience to other women, and when she met the last man, she initially refused, then hesitated, and finally sold the house and followed the man with joy. The tragic characters are vividly portrayed. Of course, she paid the price in the end and had nothing. What's next for her? She has no house and no money. I think she's still trying to find light in her darker life because she ended up crying and laughing.
