Kateb Yacine, l'amour et la révolution

Born in Constantine in 1929, and having lived for many years in France and elsewhere in Europe, Kateb Yacine was one of the most celebrated and pioneering writers of the Maghreb—a poet, novelist, and playwright. In this film, Kateb Yacine reflects on his work, his ideas, and his life. Through his memories, an extraordinary journey unfolds. The images he arranges like a deck of cards provide the keys to understanding his singular path. He quietly enters our imagination, awakening in us the desire to join him in his unfulfilled quest: the search for memory.
