In an Algeria that trembles from blind terrorism and the irrational and senseless death, a former fighter pilot, alcoholic and restless, crosses the Sahara as a guide. But what has led him to this escape? The terrifying present that daily murders his homeland? His heavy past, marked by the strange death of his brother and the behavior of his parents? Or his attempt to escape from love, which suddenly appears before him, in the middle of the desert in the form of a very young girl?
Rachid Boudjedra carves a prose poem on the tortured land of Algeria about an unfulfilled love, which only silent glances and awkward gestures can betray. For a tormenting love that, reflecting what he believed he had overcome in his adolescence, torments the body and soul of an unwed thirty-something.
