  • After the girls match their mother with gentle Moroccan acrobat and nanmed Bilal and he eventually moves in with them and serves as a surrogate father. Julia's friend Eva urges Julia to study in Algiers with a revered Sufi master at a school of "the annihilation of the ego". In another sequence, European dandy Santoni invites Julia, Bea and Lucy to his villa. As finances begin dwindle, Bilal's philosophy is "God will provide" although usually it is Bilal himself who provides. Sometimes he also disappears. At one point, Bea contracts a strep infection while he is gone and nearly dies. Bilal returns only to disappear again, but he has a plan. They discover that three return tickets that suddenly appear have been bought by him with money he got from the sale of his uniform. In the end, Julia and the girls board a train back to London.
