A love story set against uprooting and religious fundamentalism.
Twenty years after "The blow of sirocco", Alexandre Arcady retraces his childhood footsteps in Algiers, where he could film, for the first time since the Independence. Combining past and present, covering history on both large and small scales, he films this painful account of his return to the country from which he was exiled for 30 years. Antoine de Caunes experiences the torments of this journalist torn between his teenage nostalgia for the sun-drenched paradise and the tragedy of a country ravaged by religious extremism.
