Synopsis : Silk curtains have been burnt by the full moon though the window. You know that lunar rays knock you out more than those of the sun?”. A cardboard decor and photographs reconstitute a luxury Californian-type villa in Algeria. Its inhabitants, neighbours and other protagonists imagine themselves there to explain why and how the latter was occupied by terrorists in order to hide whilst, paradoxically, it is entirely in glass. They even polished it clean so as to leave no traces. This improbable and irresolvable anecdote encourages the characters to invent images of an event given media coverage without the images nor the story and thus missing the main point.

Neil Beloufa Born in 1985, Algerian and French.
