2024
France, Algeria

Synopsis

taking place in algerian suburbia in 1994, the story revolves around anya — a seven-year-old girl who blissfully experiences her childhood without being aware of the turmoil caused by the civil war engulfing her country.

her sole desire is for her father — a journalist away on an assignment — to come back in time for the mouloud holiday. nevertheless, the violence of the real world slowly encroaches upon her daily life, causing her childish innocence to waver.
