The second feature film by the emerging Algerian director Teguia follows topographer Malek who, while working in the South West of Algeria decides to help a young sub-Saharan woman reach Morocco so that she can try to enter Spain. The road movie that ensues changes direction when the young woman suddenly decides instead to return home. This unusual journey through the Sahara showcases Algeria’s spectacular terrain and explores Algeria’s African cultural identity. Winner of the FIPRESCI award at the Venice Film Festival 2010.
