Yasmina Khadra's story is rather unusual. Her life is an epic. This best-selling authoress, whose early novels are set against the background of the Algerian civil war of the 1990's, is in fact a man. His real name is Mohammed Moulessehoul. An Algerian army officer, he fought the Islamist wave which plunged Algeria into a bloodbath. He spent his sleepless nights writing novels which were published under a pseudonym made up of his wife's two first names. As a sort of road movie between Algeria and France, this film unfolds as a journey through Yasmina Khadra's work, his complex personality, and his life story which has been mixed up with the great History of Algeria since independence.
