A decade before the Western world entered a state of psychosis following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the Algerian people were already suffering in their own land the devastating consequences of the terror inflicted by Islamic fundamentalists. In her first feature, actress turned director Belhadj bravely plunges back into one of the darkest episodes in Algerian history, entering the lives of resilient widow El Batoul and her daughters. A shattering story depicted with courage and perception by both cast and crew, this is one of the most powerful films on the effects of violence, especially on women, to come out of North Africa.
