Karima, a Parisian photographer, visits Algiers after her patriarch falls ill. Her return unveils buried memories and conflicts. She navigates her roots and unresolved matters in the city she once cherished.

Karima, a famous photographer who lived in Paris for several years, was forced to return to Algiers to attend the agony of the old patriarch against which she rebelled and was exiled. This forced return will awaken in her the scars and the ghosts of a repressed past. Once again, it is time to settle accounts. Nothing is more falsely serene than certain places she loved, more deceptive than the scents of Algiers.—Carthage Film Festival
