Once Upon a Time in the Oued

(2005)Directed by Djamel Bensalah93 minComedy

In 1988, Johnny Leclerc (Julien Courbey) hides in the Sabri family's luggage so he can fly to Algeria for the summer. He is the son of a Norman mother and an Alsatian father, but he fasts for Ramadan, wears a djelaba, and believes his real name is Abdelbachir. Djamel Bensalah sends him to the coast with Yacine (David Saracino), who is dodging a local kaid and a father with a marriage already arranged.
