Character Relationships in Adam

Abla (played by Lubna Azabal) is a protagonist in Adam. Abla is a widowed mother who lives with her school-age daughter and earns money by preparing and selling food. Though she initially refuses Samia shelter, she eventually takes her in, works alongside her, listens to her pain, and helps deliver the baby. She becomes Samia’s main source of practical and emotional support. Samia (played by Nisrin Erradi) appears in Adam. Samia is a pregnant woman searching desperately for work and shelter while determined to give her baby up for adoption. She stays with Abla, helps prepare food for customers, rejects pressure to leave with her husband, and gives birth in Abla’s home. Her unresolved decision about the newborn forms the central conflict. Warda (played by Douae Belkhaouda) appears in Adam. Warda is Abla’s school-age daughter and lives with her mother. She observes Samia’s arrival and becomes curious about the pregnancy, bringing a child’s direct interest into the household. Her presence also reflects Abla’s efforts to preserve discipline, routine, and normality while supporting Samia through the crisis. Slimani (played by Aziz Hattab) appears in Adam. Slimani is involved in the childbirth sequence, helping Abla support Samia during labor and delivery. His role is limited but directly connected to the birth of Samia’s son, making him a practical participant in the story’s decisive event rather than a central figure in the women’s domestic and emotional relationship.
