Allilou works in Algeria for textiles company. He is sent to
Paris by his employer to fetch a suitcase containing some
clothes. He visits his cousin Mok who, a settled Parisian, has
little trace of his Algerian ancestry. Having lost the address of

hard to adjust to the pace of life in the capital and cannot wait to
get back to the comparative sanity of Algeria...
