Abou Leila | Directed by Amin Sidi-Boumédiène
Algeria, 1994. Terrorism is raging since two years, in the North of the country, everyday bringing dead and horrors. S. and Lotfi, two friends from childhood, travel through the desert looking for Abou Leila, a dangerous terrorist on the run. Their search seems absurd, given that the Sahara has not been affected by the wave of murders and bomb attacks that have been sweeping through the rest of the country. Lofti has only one priority : to keep S. as far from the capital as possible, knowing his friend is too fragile to face more bloodshed
With Lyes Salem and Slimane Benouari
