Plot summary
Algeria in 1957 is divided between people who want the country to stay French and people who demand independence. Jacques Cormery comes back to the place where he spent his childhood, and the visit returns him to those years: his mother Catherine, his stern grandmother, his uncle Étienne, and a young Arab boy he knew then. The boy Jacques and the man he became both appear, his early years in Algeria alongside the journey of 1957.
