Plot
A story of a man in the Algerian desert.
Sinekatalog’s take
Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina's drama follows a man in the Algerian desert in an epic, atmospheric tale of will and survival. Visually grand but stiffly told, it is a less successful follow-up to his earlier acclaimed work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
