English title: Back Home.
Note about the original title: 'bled' is a French word meaning 'small village'.
Kamel is deported to Algiers, after having served a prison sentence in France (this film is a prequel to Wesh Wesh qu'est-ce qui se passe? (2001)). He tries to adapt to the customs in his new country. He befriends a woman who has returned to the village recently (or so I figured out); she had been away from her husband who wouldn't let her follow the singing profession. Also, he engages in the resistance of the local population against some violent Islamic fundamentalists.
There is much authenticity in the mise-en-scene, but the film is tedious and scarce on information about its characters.
