The story does not contain any truth at all
It was inspired by my vast imagination, and the reasons for writing it were a challenge I faced one day. I needed to write a new story on my own website in 2008, and today I am resubmitting it after printing it on paper.
قالوا إنها هربت من قبرها! ... منذ كانت صغيرة تتحرّش بالرجال، وتطفح ملامحها بسعادة الدنيا حينما يحملها رجل بين يديه. تقدم لخطبتها عشرات الشبان، ورفض أبوها تزويجها. ربما كان يخشى أن يفتضح أمر ابنته، ويعرف القاصي والداني أنها فقدت عذريتها، ويلحقه عارها
Qaddour’s text takes inspiration from the idea of confession from the text “Death and the Virgin” by the Chilean writer Ariel Dorfman. Without that, the text begins to build its purely Syrian story, which revolves around an old relationship that comes back to life between an officer who was expelled by the ruling regime in peacetime and brought back in war, and “Jalal,” who was tortured in one of the days of peace.

The two meet when their destinies intertwine through Jalal's nephew, the theater director concerned with directing the play "Death and the Virgin" in which Akram plays the role of the tortured, while the character of the tortured girl is played by "Haya, Soha Nader", Omar's lover. In the orbit of these relationships, Radwan, Hamza Hamada, the officer’s bodyguard, gets lost without knowing the horrors he will face after leaving the officer’s service to participate in the massacre of the twenty-first century.

However, the enthusiastic young man insists on making the mission a success, even though the members of his mission are fleeing down the hill one after the other.
Little by little, the two get closer: the young man who studied in the Polish capital, Warsaw, and the old man who knows the hill’s hidden secrets, and their evenings become endless darkness, during which “Pavel” tells the shepherd about his love affairs, while the latter listens in amazement, and his heart burns with love for the nun Maria, the last of the young man’s lovers. .
In “The Women of Warsaw,” Georgi Markov writes about two different worlds that border on contradiction, leaving the oak tree to chart the path to the end...
