عمر قتلتوا الرجلة
In working-class Algiers, a young man devoted to his family and his treasured cassette recordings leads a lonely life hemmed in by codes of masculinity. When a chance connection with a girl he has never met stirs something new, he must summon the nerve to act. A landmark of modern Algerian cinema.
