Un grupo de niños se baña en una playa, hasta que el conflicto comienza: se trata de la Guerra de Independencia de Argelia, reinterpretada enteramente por niños de seis a catorce años en un viaje surreal en el que los adultos representan el poder colonial opresor.

On an Algerian beach, kids splash about, sleep, squabble - and then suddenly go to war. And it’s neither Lord of the Flies nor La Guerre des boutons. In her first film, full of grace, Narimane Mari films this childish freefor- all closely, at the irregular pace of an imagination inspired by the highest form of reality, national History — actually, nothing less than the Algerian War of Independence. When their make-believe induces a general upheaval, we follow the flock of children as they stamp their feet up the stairs, invade houses, cross village squares, in a whirlwind of shouts and empty words. Time is stretched like in a dream, through a choreography of belligerent shadows or the night-time explosion of the cemetery, as so many warning signs of dangers to come.
Algeria, una nutrita banda di ragazzini gioca sulla spiaggia. Attraverso il gioco si snoda il racconto di una nazione martoriata dalla guerra. Presentato al 31 TFF (Torino Film Festival) 2013
