Kamel and his brother Bouzid live in the Bab el Oued quarter of Algiers. Kamel is shy, whereas Bouzid, the more outgoing of the two, passes his time in a cyber-café chatting with women on line from all over the world. During these conversations Bouzid always invites his cyber women to visit him in Algiers. To his surprise Laurence, a young woman from France, accepts his invitation and informs him that she is enroute to Algiers. How can Bouzid manage to accommodate Laurence in his parent's small apartment in Bab el Oued? Kamel has the answer.
