LIEN ALLOCINE


Au cœur du hammam loin du regard accusateur des hommes, mères, amantes, vierges ou exaltées islamistes, des fesses et des foulards de Dieu se confrontent, s’interpellent entre fous rires, pleurs et colères, bible et coran… avant le sifflement d’un poignard et le silence de Dieu.



Fatima, a strong-minded woman, is the lead masseuse of a hammam in Algiers. This is 1995 and the situation is tense in the capital. The day ahead promises to be hectic for all, and for Fatima in particular. Already, while walking to her place of work, she is the distant witness of a terrorist attack. At the hammam, Fatima should feel better, but the atmosphere proves electric in her small enclosed world, she has great difficulty in maintaining order. All the more as Meriem, a sixteen-year-old pregnant girl comes to take shelter at the hammam. And as irate brother, Mohamed, is after her to cleanse his honor in blood.
