- Synopsis
- Through the transgressive and powerful imagination of children, the movie tells the end of French Algeria.
  17 relentless kids, never having enough of gestures and screams, are smashing everything. Great heroes of an unwritten war: while the French Army is firing at the OAS, the children are looting the French Army: oil, chocolate, semolina, sugar, and even a war prisoner condemned to eat beans. But the war catches up with the beautiful adventure and the beans are marred in blood.
