Mille Plateaux

Mille Plateaux is a documentary road movie that follows my journey from the city of Oran to the heart of the Algerian highlands. This trip is an opportunity to take the pulse of a country in perpetual motion, to explore this territory, to meditate on it, to enter its folds or its margins. It is also the intimate story of the mourning of a mother lost and found on the confines of this space.
