BURNING

By Slimane BOUNIA

Comedy - Completed 2015

Burning is a tangled story of Algerians today who are struggling, much like this frozen fish that passes from hand to hand from the Kabyle mountains to the fishing coast and then ends up by coming back to life and dive in the endless waters of possibilities.
