Official Algerian history gets boldly rewritten as director Jean-Pierre Lledo digs up long-buried memories of the country's war of independence by following for Algerians of Muslin origin as they seek out the truth about their own lives.

Aziz Mouats, Katiba Hocine
When independence is declared in 1962, the minority communities of Jewish and European origin flee Algeria. Four people of Muslim ascendency searching for the truth about their own lives evoke the last decades of French colonization, the years of war, from 1955 to 1962. Hatred and friendship lead us through a hidden memory: their relationships with their Jewish and Christian neighbours. The foundational myths of the new Algeria are revisited, but will they succeed in getting to the bottom of their own legends?
