This film draws its power from its ability to make people feel oppression from the perspective of the main character, Nedjma. The film oscillates between the daily life of a carefree young woman and the situation in Algiers at the time of radicalization in the 90s which does not correspond to the mentality of young girls of the time. All the remarks and attacks that Nedjma endures throughout the film show to what extent women of the time were oppressed by terror and indoctrination. A dramatic film in which we can salute the talent of Lyna Khoudri and Shirine Boutella. A Great movie which help me to understand this part of history.
