synopsis

This film, mapping the surrealistic journey of a group of children from the Algerian slums over the course of one hot summer day, is a playful allegory of the revolutionary battle of Algerians for independence from France fifty years ago. This genre hybrid teeters at the edge of documentary and hypnotic fun with music by the electro-pop duo Zombie Zombie.


biography

With her debut, which Narimane Mari filmed in just nine days, this filmmaker of French-Algerian origin drew attention to herself at last year’s CPH:DOX in Copenhagen, taking the top prize.
