Synopsis

When Lounes is suspended from school a sequence of events changes his life. Innocently caught up in a heroin deal that turns ugly, the young man faces a media-fed storm of prejudice and protest. Writing with the tautness and tension of a thriller, Rachedi observes as his young hero inspires and unites otherwise isolated suburban residents, with surprising results.
