In prison in colonial Algeria, shortly after the end of the Second World War, three indigenous cellmates make out.

It’s not sociologically or historically speaking. It’s life. And I think that’s all there in it. [...] For a hundred and thirty years, we wait. We hold back. We push back. We hope. At the same time, on different occasions, there are skirmishes, unrest.
