The Sand Eyes

Seven Arabs and a Kabyle are walking on the mountain. They are the fedayeen of the Algerian war, a collection of men united by the dream of independence. They go with the mule loaded with weapons and tell each other stories, when a platoon of French soldiers commanded by a young officer blocks their way.

What happens during this encounter, the head of the fedayeen explains thirty years later from Le Havre, in the country of the former occupier, where he had to emigrate. Now he is an old man in a nursing home where no one listens to each other's stories. Until a journalist comes to interview him. Between them the pact is clear: I will tell you the whole story, you will print every detail so that the people here know what their deputy was doing in the mountains of my country.
