The Foreign Son

Overview

Answering the call of his homeland Algeria, there seems to be a path unfolding in front of him, and it is tortuous. Providence provides a child to guide him. The apparently pristine wilderness is heavy with the history of the land. Along a fine line between reality and fantasy, the past surfaces through archive footage. Strangely, the uncanny trip will lead the foreign son to connect with a landscape he hardly knows, and allow his intimate reunion with an estranged family.
