Myriam cannot enjoy the protection of Raoul's money, however, as Germans invade a Turkish bath and round up the women who have no veils, on the assumption that they are Jews. Nour, who is at the bath, pretends that Myriam is her sister and another woman hands her a veil. When Khaled learns of this he grows angry, telling Nour that the Jews helped the French to oppress the native Tunisian population and that the Koran forbids Jews and Muslims from being friends.
