January 2019. Filmmaker Karim Aïnouz decides to take a boat, cross the Mediterranean and embark on his first journey to Algeria. Accompanied by the memory of his mother, Iracema, and his camera, Aïnouz gives us a detailed account of the journey to his father's homeland; from the sea crossing to his arrival in the Atlas Mountains in Kabylia - a mountainous region in northern Algeria - to his return. Interweaving present, past and future. "Mariner of the Mountains is a contemporary fabula, a myth after its origin, the delirium of a calenture. Like Odysseus who crosses the seas to return home, Aïnouz crosses a promise of home to continue sailing" A film by Karim AÏNOUZ BRAZIL / FRANCE / GERMANY, 2021, Documentary, 1h38
