In an estate in the South of Algiers, in the middle of the nineties. Djaber and Yamina are neighbours, but do not know each other. For one as for the other, it is so difficult to meet between girls and boys, that they almost stopped dreaming about it. In a few days nevertheless, what was up to then that deaf and distant violence explodes in front of them, modifying for ever their fates.

A love story that never was. No chance to exist. No chance to blossom. A small look into the town of Sidi Moussa during Algeria's brutal 90s civil war.

Graceful colour and tone. The two chapter segments gave insight into both sides of the same story highlighting the importance of perspective and how it changes all.
