The director describes a fictional work informed by testimony from former detainees in the Tindouf camps. It follows captivity, escape and personal rebuilding; its contents should be understood as a cinematic work inspired by these accounts.

The cast includes the late Mohamed Choubi. The release comes ahead of the Green March commemoration. The reporting reviewed documents the project and its presentation to audiences, but provides no admission figures or assessment of its commercial run. Screening times should be checked with cinemas.
