there's no water in the village !

Enough talk !

Are you ready to strike ?

Anyway,

This doesn't concern them...

...their oven hasn't

been lit for ages.

Doesn't concern me either.

I buried my husband,

and trampled all over his grave,

So who are

the brave ones ?

You've never felt any pleasure ?

Never?

Why did you get married at 14

if you didn't love him?

I'll get married to my lover.

We'll make love

twice a day.

We'll only have 2 kids.

I'll go travelling

while he minds them.

For sure !

I'll give you my donkey,

he'll have a cap on his head

like the tourists,

and he'll carry your

beautiful luggage.

"Love strike" !

They're saying:

"Doors and windows shut...

"the naughty rooster's

not allowed back in !"

"The hen'll get

a good night's sleep !"

I didn't hear anything.

Yesterday, she offered me an egg.

They've got a bit

of sunstroke.

Why've aren't they getting the water

all of a sudden ?

They want to make

a song and dance about it.

It's the modern generation.

They see running water

in houses on TV,

and they want to have it.

Howdy, Hussein ?

Come and have a cup of tea !

Later, thanks.

I'm going

to pick some flowers.

You're joking !...

And we're laughing !

I suspect Leila's behind this.

It's absurd.

You know the proverb :

"Sow and you will reap...

the earth cannot stop you."

Except when there's no rain.

Like that 15-year

drought we had.

You must marry another woman

and get rid of Leila.

She's no good !

Your sisters are

ten times better.

You should have married

the one I'd chosen for you.

I told you :

Love brings bad luck.

Why take someone

from so far away ?

She's a witch !

She'll be the ruin of you,

and bring shame on us !

You think I can't hear

the two of you ?

- Even in the afternoon !

- How dare you spy on us !

- She's my wife !

- She's your mother !

Sami !

Ahmed agrees to give you

his daughter, Nouffisa.

What do you say to that ?

I'm staying with Leila.

You love me ?

I'll never reject you.

I'll never marry anyone else.

You're my princess...

you revolutionary !

Leila,

you have the right to fight.

It's not a sin.

Enlightened lslam does exist

in other places.

The Islam of Light !

Your battle's a just one.

Leila!

Where's she got to ?

She'll do anything

to get out of work.

You have to help me.

If the strike doesn't work,

we won't have any water !

Why do you want to

change the tradition ?

What do you want me

to tell them?

What should I say

to convince them ?

Don't you see

that the idleness,

lack of money, drought,

have emptied the hearts

of those men ?

You want love

to return to the village

in a water pipe...?

Hurry up !

Fatima, hurry up.
