A film by mouloud aït liotna
yanis — a young kabyle man — is leaving for paris, so, he goes to the nearby village to tie up some loose ends. there he learns of the death of a childhood friend and meets another at the funeral.
a mishap in a café turns his last day in the backwaters of an earthy and soggy algeria into a road movie; at first desperate, then thoughtful, and melancholic.
