While a wind of freedom known as the Arab Spring blew over this part of the world, Algeria stood aside. Does that make it all right? How are the Algerian people, how do they live?
Seven young men and women between the ages of twenty and thirty ask themselves the question: what does it mean to be Algerian? They leave their city of Oran and go deep into the country. This trip to the most beautiful of seasons will take the pulse of the real country.
