The film centers on “Dounit”, a beautiful mysterious woman whose arrival disrupts the harmony of an Amazigh village. She attracts three shepherds—Muslim, Christian, and Jewish—and eventually people from different social and religious positions become caught up in competing for her. The character of Dounit works symbolically as an embodiment of “the worldly life” (الدنيا) and its temptations.
