Summary:

Directed by Abdelkrim Bahloul. Sixty five year old Abdelkader Silimani, an Algerian Muslim living in France, after inadvertently witnessing a murder, closely escapes from the murderers by hiding out in a mosque. The black leather dressed masked murderers, with their firearms in hand, do not hesitate to enter the mosque full of praying men looking for the eyewitness. They leave empty handed but determined not to give up their search. Detective Leclerc is assigned to the case. As he searches for the eyewitness who stays mute with fear, the detective slowly discovers the Northern Paris Muslim community and its traditions. For the first time, the French detective is exposed to the contradictions and challenges minority communities face as they struggle to live in a new culture with a different set of values and religious beliefs. Countries of Production: France and Algeria. Some World Cinema titles may contain mature themes or content. Viewer discretion is advised
