Slimane

Synopsis

Where you are from anywhere. With no work or stable residence, Slimane and Moha constantly resort to their friends. But an unfortunate event will put them to the test.

Press Reviews

“Slimane walks a tightrope between the real and the fabricated, between rushing energy and fickle matter, between strength and fragility.” (L’Alternativa)
