Miss

This 13-minute film showcases a girl's journey through the Algerian desert in a wrecked car. As she seeks a change of scenery, she interacts with the elderly in her village and visits a nearby oasis.

The film touches on significant themes, including the impact of colonialism and the haunting presence of a nuclear bomb. These elements add depth to the narrative, making it a thought-provoking watch. Collectors of short films and those interested in narratives that address historical contexts may find value in this piece.

Produced by Prolégomènes and Paraíso Production, Miss is part of a growing trend of short films that challenge conventional storytelling. The unique perspective offered by Khalfallah is a noteworthy aspect for anyone focused on contemporary cinema.
