Drama
France, Algeria
Taking place in Algerian suburbia in 1994, the story revolves around Anya — a seven-year-old girl who blissfully experiences her childhood without being aware of the turmoil caused by the civil war engulfing her country. Her sole desire is for her father — a journalist away on an assignment — to come back in time for the Mouloud holiday. Nevertheless, the violence of the real world slowly encroaches upon her daily life, causing her childish innocence to waver.
