Elie, Esther's son, does not know what to do. Taking pity on him, Selima, the day nurse, suggests hiring her mother, Halima. Who is Muslim. Against all odds, the two women build a strong, intimate friendship. Halima is a proud and sensible woman. She knows how to command respect. Her good humor and energy give Esther a new lease of life.
