Oran. One Friday in summer 1994. After doing a report in Kaboul, Salim returns to his hometown at the hour of prayer. He joins his lover Houria who is hiding in a safe apartment. To celebrate their reunion, Salim pulls out a bottle of wine brought back from Afghanistan. The trouble is, Houria doesn't have a corkscrew.
