Khélifa, the main character in this story, is in his thirties. He possesses the vigour of youth and the strength of country men. Yet this strength gnaws at him, for it is virtually useless. Chambre Sans Vues is the story of any man, however ill-served he may be by his human condition, however frustrated he may be or appear to be, who hides deep within himself a beating heart that cries out for life.
