Under Another Sky

The film follows Samy, a young Franco-Algerian who finds himself in a desperate situation after hitting a policeman at a roadblock. Forced to flee France, he seeks refuge with his grandfather in Algeria, a place that feels foreign to him. Language barriers and family tensions complicate his return, as he interacts with relatives like his pregnant cousin Nadia and another cousin, Qu'Issam, who harbors resentment towards France.

The narrative delves into the fragmented states of family and identity against the backdrop of Algeria's chaotic climate. Samy's struggle to connect with his roots and the unspoken reason for his return create a poignant exploration of belonging and alienation. With a top cast that includes Nicolas Cazalé, Amira Casar, and Mohamed Majd, Under Another Sky presents a thought-provoking story that resonates with issues of cultural dislocation and family ties.
