Whose fault is it? – Mr. Popol gets very angry when he realizes the beautiful young woman he saw at the entrance is actually waiting for his nephew Salim. He’s so mad that he tries to scare his nephew reminding him of the danger of AIDS. To calm his uncle down, the boy agrees to go on a double date with his uncle and his friend Zizi. But in fact, the two friends organize a prank for Mr. Popol. After meeting him and accepting his money, the girl accepts a second date for the following day but this time she doesn’t show up. After waiting for her for three hours, Mr. Popol realizes he has been cheated when an acquaintance tells him he saw his nephew with a very beautiful girl, whose description fully corresponds to Zizi. When the boy returns home, his uncle sends him back to his father’s house.
