Chronicles of my Village Synopsis

In 1960, nine-year-old Bachir dreamed of becoming the son of a martyr because he had heard that the children of martyrs would obtain everything after independence.

Through this fiction, the film looks at the life and visions of little Algerians during the War of National Liberation.
