...film begins, it is 1962 and Pauline (Valerie Mairesse) is a slightly overweight, optimistic 17 year old who wears traditional schoolgirl clothes, carries a bookbag, and lets her bright red ponytail bounce from side to side as she sings in the school choir. Her friend Suzanne (Therese Liotard) is thin, withdrawn, feels like she's 100, and is really only 22. She and her photographer boyfriend have two children and no money, and are expecting an abortion...

Hundreds of thousands of people flow in circles around the Ka'ba each day and night during the whole year, for this practice is not limited to the period of the pilgrimage. During the night the crowds thin out and the worshipper can pray in close vicinity to the Ka'ba. Moslems sit under the endless arches of the mosque reading the Koran, but starting with dawn, the mosque fills up with worshippers flocking in for morning prayers, the first of the required daily five prayers. Then everybody...
