Synopsis
Algeria,. S. and Lotfi, two childhood friends, cross the desert in search of Abou Leila, a dangerous terrorist. The pursuit seems absurd, as the Sahara has not yet been affected by the wave of attacks. But S., whose mental health is unstable, is convinced that he will find Abou Leila there. Lotfi, meanwhile, has only one thing in mind: to get S. away from the capital. However, it is as they venture deeper into the desert that they will be confronted with their own violence.Technical details
