- Both Sherko (S) and Mokhtar (M) are in love with Najla (N). She is with S while M works in the dictator's police. N had just finished her medical studies in Rome, but intended to go on and becoming a specialized doctor until when she receives a letter from S saying that she must forget him. She returns to Iraq and finds S after much difficulty. He has concealed a number of sick or injured fugitives in a house but can give them neither treatment nor even cleanliness. He says that she can be shot just for meeting him. M had followed her trail and the police arrests both N and S. After N gets beaten up, a friendly officer tells her that she had done a very great service by finding S. He had already posted a report according to which she voluntarily came and wanted to work for the police. She accepts the work as a police doctor, not because of cowardice but because she can collect and pass on information to the police about those who are murdered or tortured. She stops an execution of women and children by fabricating that a child had signs of cholera and soldiers could die. Eventually M helps N and S escape, and at the frontier he distracts the guards. When caught he takes the full responsibility for the escape. He is shot. When N learns that, she returns and is also shot. Then S is alone.

- Giufà is about 5 years old, he lives on a day-to-day basis in a modest house and doesn't attend school yet. He is quite clumsy and is often stumbling and falling. Giufà is innocent and ingenuous, he lives life in a sincere and carefree manner, heedless of the outside world that always seems about to collapse. He is curious about life and would like to understand the reality in which he lives in particular that of the "grownups", but each time he finds out there is always something that doesn't quite fit. Absolutely lacking malice and shrewdness, Giufà is frequently prey of imps and swindlers, or ends up being Tamerlano's helpless target, a very spoiled and spiteful child. However Giufà always manages to be unharmed, sometimes even to obtain, almost always unintentionally, advantages for himself. Giufà's best friend is Coco, a smart donkey which he trusts to the point of riding him backwards in order to "watch out from Tamerlano's catapult". The cause of most of his adventures is his mother. She is always ready to give him orders and to ask for commissions. Misunderstandings, unfortunate tasks, execution of orders received and understood, stupidly, in their literal sense will be in fact to the base of a lot of funny sight-gags.
