Narrated by Saïda El Khadhra, this episode takes us to the kingdom of Snad, where after many years of waiting, the good and charitable sultan finally becomes the father of a long-awaited son. He decides to name him Snad, as a tribute to his beloved kingdom.

As he grows up, the young prince, fascinated by the sea, tells his father that he dreams of sailing off to distant lands. His father refuses, for fear of pirates and storms, but as the years go by, Snad's temptation grows stronger. The son finally sets sail with a team of sailors. 

But before long, a storm washes away everything but the prince, who ends up stranded on a deserted island where he encounters doves adorned with crowns of precious stones. The prince soon discovers that once their crowns are taken off, the doves turn into women. He then decides to hide the crown of the most beautiful one, and to return to his country with her as his captive.

One day, the dove-woman comes up with a ruse to make him reveal the hiding place of her crown, and manages to escape. Snad decides to set off in search of her, and so begins an epic journey in which the prince finds himself confronted with a strange and unfamiliar civilisation.

In this episode, Hazar Abidi analyses the tale by questioning the fantasy of the sea and its symbolism, and the frequent recurrence of the Stockholm syndrome in love stories. The analysis also looks at the image of 'barbarians', those strangers who are bound to leave their mark.
