For the Love of Peace: The Price of Marriage

Nicole is twenty-two when she falls in love with and marries Daniel, a jovial Moroccan. The differences of opinion, which Nicole accepts, do not weigh heavily. Moreover, Daniel always makes up for it afterwards. They are happy. But suddenly Daniel changes into 'Mohamed'. The high demands that Mohamed sets for himself, he also imposes on his wife. He gradually turns into a tyrannical and jealous man. The ever-shrinking breathing space, the black poverty, the manipulations and threats of Mohamed, the entire process of raising the four children with the constant cultural tensions: they create irreparable cracks in the hopelessly complicated relationship. Nicole exercises patience, acts secretly, remains silent or gives in fearfully. For the sake of the children. For the sake of peace. But how long can she keep this up?
