Boualem Zid El Goudam

The film follows Boualem and Sekfali as they traverse the vast and unforgiving desert landscape. Boualem pulls a cart filled with old books, pictures, and relics, symbolizing their pasts and contrasting perspectives on life. Their journey becomes a profound exploration of their differing attitudes toward socialism and responsibility, shaped by their individual histories.

Boualem's past is heavily influenced by the Algerian war of liberation, driving his vision of a socialist society as essential for salvation. In contrast, Sekfali embodies a more aristocratic viewpoint, believing in the need for leadership over personal responsibility. This tension between their ideologies adds depth to their adventure, making it a unique road movie set against the backdrop of the Algerian desert.
