Synopsis

A legend with the magic formula at the very beginning: "Once upon a time". Once upon a time, there was a little girl nicknamed Mimezrane for her beauty and especially for her beautiful braids. She was beautiful but had strangely sad eyes. Very early on, she became an orphan. Her boyfriend and confidant was Hennouche, a mischievous little boy with big black eyes. They lived a carefree childhood together. The time passed. They grew up. Hennouche became a goatherd with a melodious voice; Mimezrane, for her part, washerwoman and occasionally, water carrier. Both accepted, without ever complaining, their destiny. Yet, even in her misery, Mimezrane was the most beautiful of all.
