Algeria, 1954. The war is beginning and village schoolteacher Daru, an ex-soldier, is caught in the crossfire. Born in Algeria but Spanish by lineage, he's a man out of time and place, perceived as alien by locals and colonisers alike. So when he reluctantly agrees to escort a dissident to a regional police station to face trial for murder, a series of incidents force the question of where Daru's loyalties really lie. 2014 One World Films - Pathe Production - Perceval Pictures - Kaleo Films - Jouror Developpement.
