Film Synopsis
In 1955, Mahmoud is expelled from Algeria and ends up in a shantytown
in Nanterre. He starts his own business and collects funds for
the Algerian National Liberation Front, under the mistrustful eye of
those around him. Through his association with the FLN, Mahmoud
is forced to participate in violent activity, which is totally against
his nature. Slowly, he starts to loose his reason and ends up
being totally immured in his insanity.
