STORY:

A love story that takes place in Algiers, 1945, at the end of Second World War, between a gorgeous French-Maltese woman and an Algerian man, while at the same time hatred grows between their two communities.
Recognizing no boundaries to her love, Angele (Clara Bellar) manages to foment riots, rages and tragedy in colonial Algeria. Angele, an Algerian colonist with impeccably French origins, has fallen in love with Said (Lilah Dadi), the assistant in her brother-in-law's bakery shop. Said is conscious of his Arab origins and traditions, and Angele has her work cut out for her if she wants to persuade him to marry her. Once she does, all hell breaks loose, as neither her European-origin peers nor Said's conservative Arab family approve of the union. When word of the proposed marriage gets out, strikes, violence and murder quickly follow, ruining not only Angele's life, but the lives of those around her.
