Short description

Algeria, the 1930s. Younes is nine years old when he is put in his uncle's care in Oran. Rebaptized Jonas, he grows up among the Rio Salado youths, with whom he becomes friends. Emilie is one of the gang; everyone is in love with her. A great love story develops between Jonas and Emilie, which is soon unsettled by the conflicts troubling the country.

What's left behind the scenes

The film's screenplay is based on a novel by Yasmina Khadra, published in 2008.
The novel that the protagonist reads throughout the film, 'The White Horse' ('Le Cheval blanc'), was written in 1943 by Elsa Triolet, a French writer born in Moscow and the younger sister of Mayakovsky's lover, Lilya Brik.
