Synopsis
Bab el-Oued is working class district of Algiers, shortly after the bloody riots of October 1988. Boualem is a young worker in the district bakery. He works hard at night and sleeps during the day. One morning, he commits a "foolish" act which puts the entire district in turmoil. A group of young extremists headed by Saïd, sets out in the search of the culprit of this "provocative" act with the intention of making an example by punishing him.
