A film by Karim Moussaoui. In Arabic with German subtitles.

Algeria today. Past and pre­sent col­l­i­de in the lives of a new­ly wealt­hy pro­per­ty deve­lo­per, a young woman torn bet­ween the path of reason and sen­ti­ment and an ambi­tious neu­ro­lo­gist impe­ded by war­ti­me wrong­doings. Three sto­ries that plun­ge us into the human soul of a con­tem­po­ra­ry Arab society.
“Some of the best sce­nes lie in this midd­le sec­tion, which at times recalls Abbas Kiarostami’s THROUGH THE OLIVE TREES, with two young peo­p­le who, despi­te their mutu­al attrac­tion, keep repel­ling each other like magnets as they wan­der along the win­ding roads of the desert. In one stand­out moment, Djalil and Aicha escape into an emp­ty bar, whe­re the lat­ter per­forms a mar­ve­lous dance for an audi­ence of one. And later on, their pivo­tal meet-up gets hija­cked by a mar­ching band, as if the famous entr’acte from Leo Carax’s HOLY MOTORS found its way into the Algerian back­lands.” (Jordan Mintzer)
