Overview
The story follows Hadj Ahmed, a traditional Algerian father struggling with his son Jalali's drug addiction and the negative influences of his peers, particularly "El Wel" (the wolf), a drug dealer. Hadj Ahmed seeks guidance from Sheikh Souguri, a religious sage, while also dealing with health issues such as dizziness and family tensions, including his wife's frustration and community gossip. Songs by the late Cheb Azzedine, such as "Ya Walidi Barkak men el Mokhderat" (My son, stay away from drugs), underscore the themes of redemption and caution against vice.
