Synopsis

1997: Alia is a Parisian photographer, travelling from Tunis to Constantine (Algiers) to see her sick father. Cherif is a writer and has just read, according to the newspapers, that he's dead. Their driver is a cab driver used to doing the Tunis-Constantine route. 2007: Fatma Zohra asks her brother to go with her on a location scout. The film is dear to her heart because it portrays the violence that swept Algiers during the nineties. The crew starts out on a two thousand kilometre journey that leads to a hypothetical fiction or the dream of one during which the main characters get to know one another. But the project can't find financing. How does one carry out a fiction when all is against you?
