In January 1972, Abdellatif and Abraham are arrested. They are, however, freed one month after the birth of Qods, Abdellatifs daughter. But, in March 1972, Abdellatif is arrested once again. Abraham escapes from the police and goes underground. Evelyne, Abrahams sister is arrested and savagely tortured. Freed, she tells Jocelyne that she was called a dirty Jew by the police.
