Story
The action takes place in Algeria in 1954. World War II veteran Dawr works as a schoolteacher in a remote Algerian village. His quiet life is violated by the gendarme Balducci, who leads an arrested Arab named Mohamed and asks to be taken to the nearest police station, located a few days away. Daru does not want to do this dirty work at all and is determined to release the criminal accused of killing his cousin on all four sides. The next morning, the brothers of the slain make an attempt to avenge the blood of Mohamed. The teacher realizes that the prisoner is threatened with inevitable death, and decides to escort him to his destination. On this difficult path, they are threatened not only by the relatives of the deceased, but also by the self-defense units of European settlers, the Algerian rebels and the French colonial troops ...
