Né quelque part

26-year-old law student Farid has lived in France his whole life. When his father falls ill and sends him to Algeria to try and save the family home from demolition, Farid discovers a country in which he has never set foot, whose language he barely speaks - a country he neither understands nor cares for. In his father's village however, he is gradually won over by a gallery of extraordinary characters whose humor and straightforwardness take him by surprise, then touch him deeply. Among them is his young cousin, a quick-witted wheeler-dealer who shares his name and who dreams of somehow making it to France.
