Each step reveals fragments of memories, resistance, and daily life. A temporality formed by the harshest years where chimera and reality became one. Mixing unpublished archives with intimate encounters in the tone of an investigation, the film takes us between reality and mirage. It offers us a unique fresco of Algeria, where the past and the present intertwine to depict a history of the sensible, a multiple reality, and a collective future. Written by Les Ménines See less
