Synopsis
[edit]Loosely based on Hamlet, set in Algeria in 1957, Dédé goes to the marriage of his mother with uncle Raymond, brother of his late father, who died two months previously. Shocked by the sudden decision of his mother, Dédé meets childhoods friends Michel and Monique at the ceremony. One night his father appears to him to tell him that he was murdered by Raymond.
