Stranger Says:

Set in Algiers in 2008, a few years after the long civil war has ended, the story looks at a generational divide, where the more cosmopolitan, secular (French-speaking) Algerians are at odds with the younger society that is increasingly being taken over by the (Arabic-speaking) zealously religious. While the plot is a bit meandering, it has some interesting elements about how people grapple with the decision of whether to leave their home country, when an authoritarian government or religious fundamentalism makes living there unbearable.
