Kame Allah Movies

The lives and dreams of young Arabs living in housing projects outside Paris are chronicled in this sympathetic French drama. The film is set in Gousainville, a Paris suburb during the five days of the Islamic holiday Abd El Kebir. The story is narrated by Slimane, the offspring of Algerian immigrants. Life in Gousainville is dull and like most teens, Slimane longs to escape and find excitement. He is also feeling repressed by his parent's traditional Muslim ways, and by the lack of economic opportunity in the town. His brother Samy is already a heroin addict and petty thief. Slimane dates the lovely Nacera on the sly. She wants him to marry her. During the five days of the religious holiday Slimane's world changes forever. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
