In the closed world of suppressed desire in 1960s Algeria, a young
man's sexual awakening begins in the arms of older women. In a
climate of mounting political unrest, Koussaila embarks on a
chaotic path of desire, self-disgust, women and sex, attempting to
uproot his innermost self, torn between Islam and ideas from the
West.
