Synopsis
Pendant l'hiver 2003 à Alger, alors que la violence islamiste se déchaîne dans une allure de guerre civile, une mère, sa fille et une prostituée se sont installées dans un hôtel du centre-ville. Goucem, la fille, mène une vie « normale » en travaillant chez un photographe ; elle a aussi un amant généreux (qui est marié) et elle aime danser en discothèque en fin de semaine. Fifi, son amie fidèle, est quant à elle prostituée et sous la coupe d'un homme puissant. Papicha, la mère, vit dans la nostalgie de sa vie d'ancienne danseuse de cabaret. Les trois femmes tentent de nier la présence violente ou insidieuse de la mort qui se répand autour d'elles.Actors
