Description
This heartbreaking love story is also a searing tale of terrorism and political repression in North Africa. In a desert prison camp a man is rotting, half-alive, at the bottom of a well. Andres has been there, held in horrific conditions, for many years. Around him other men are similarly imprisoned and guarded by a handful of soldiers. On the outskirts of the fort, Tamia, a young woman, hides behind rocks, hoping to hear news of her lover who is thought to be a prisoner. She eventually learns that her man died months ago. That same night, she finds Andres making his escape. She leads him to a ruined village where an old woman gives them shelter. With Tamia s care, Andres gradually recovers, and a strong bond grows between them. Later, the couple have an affair and take refuge in the city with Tamia s family. Andres terrorist past comes to light while Tamia discovers the unbelievable truth about her dead lover."
