A tragic story, where to start in order to be unpredictable?
woman or child.
Kabylia, woman. If a woman succeeds by what she wants to have, she is a failure.
For a woman, at a certain stage of age, the body may not be as precious as it initially appeared, and if it is lost again and again, it will not look like it, or it will appear dissolute in a girl. But the money exchanged by selling the body has become the object of being defrauded many times, which will make this story mixed with a lot of realistic and resentful things. Money makes people hate and love.
Beauvoir said that women are not born. But when everything seems to be an established fact, how to overturn it? Just like women need emotional sustenance more than men.
An ugly house can shelter from the wind and rain, but it cannot keep love. She has many things superior to others, but no love. She doesn't want to be a woman in a hole, she wants to change her life.
The circus is here, and a little magic is used to make her express her heart. In love stories, pure and sincere girls will attract boys, but unfortunate people will attract demons.
Doom cycle. Life hasn't changed. She cried, rolled, begged for death, and after she was released, she picked up the bouquet and laughed again.


What a lovely girl, no matter what the society does to me, if I am changed by it, I will be a real failure.
