L'Algérie en 1989 : peu de temps après les émeutes d'octobre 1988, la vie quotidienne est dure dans le quartier de Bab El Oued à Alger. Boualem arrache, sur son immeuble, un haut-parleur diffusant la parole de l'imam, car cela l'empêchait de dormir (il travaille de nuit). Les intégristes islamistes saisissent ce prétexte pour répandre la terreur. Ainsi, ils prennent à partie Ouardya, une femme aux mœurs jugées trop libres.
