Safia, a disreputable town woman, defies her instincts and falls for Matteo, a beggar‑mystic from Sirocco’s native quarter. She flees to France, becomes the lover then wife of a wealthy archaeologist, and bears his child—Matteo’s, though her husband thinks it his. Years later Matteo reappears, and blackmailers expose Safia’s secret to her husband.
