Babor Casanova
Algiers, 2015: Adlan and Terrorist navigate the Sacré Coeur neighborhood, desperately trying to earn a few dinars. Between small deals and unofficial parking service, they wait for the weekends and the Mouloudia’s soccer games. There, they can forget the emptiness of their daily lives, sing their love for the team, and dream about the boat that might, one day, take them far away from this unforgiving country

On the waterfront in Algiers, with the other side of the Mediterranean planted in their eyes, Adlan and Terroriste are the emblem of a sacrificed Algerian youth, whose future seems to be reduced to the dream of that gray horizon. Yet, in their energy, as they lead us into the ranks of the supporters of the Algiers football team, their hopes resonate. They set the tone and rhythm for Babor Casanova, and Karim Sayad takes us along with them, defusing prejudices.
