if you do not know anything about algeria and you might enjoy this movie . anyone who know the country of algeria and it history or it geographic location will know that there be something wrong with this movie . the big question be the use of french a the language of the character . while french be widely speak in algeria especially in academic institution and arabic be the official language and be the language of the street . through out the entire movie and i haven not hear a single arabic word of dialog ( excepy for the song in the café ) which be absurd . the other puzzle question be the death of the prostitute . in a country that be awash with gun and violence and it hard to believe that a state security officer will go to great length to murder a prostitute who he think steal his gun . i just find this very stupid . it doesn not make any sense . the setting for this story should have be in europe or latin america not algeria . this movie be a total waste of time .
