Rachida, a young and self-assured teacher at an elementary school, becomes the target of terrorists when she refuses to place a bomb in her classroom. This acclaimed debut feature offers a unique glimpse into the lives of ordinary citizens in Algeria, where terrorism was commonplace during the civil conflict of the 1990s.

this movie is genuinely terrifying. i was so scared for rachida (and everyone else) pretty much the entire time. the first half is kind of slow, but the second half picks up its pace and is really fucking stressful to watch.
